I wish this was seen more in the education systems in the US

we need more of this in classroom teaching. using the arts will generate interest and excitement and is culturally responsible

yes!!!! so important

creativity is like a "muscle that needs to be worked in order to stay healthy". when we don't give children times to be creative, that ability to think outside of the box will diminish

yes - there can still be rigor in a classroom when letting children play and explore!!

I love presenting an idea in art and seeing how all the different kids will explore materials and ideas - kids are so creative!

I love how he recognized all the ways that visual arts can be used for healing

I love this way of showing skeptics rather than telling them.

i like this idea of students looking at themselves and what they say from the outside. This helps to create the image of learner and important participant in the classroom.

giving students plenty of time to talk through ideas and planning of projects.

the idea that we do not want to have the time - that something else is "more important" and therefor takes away our energy to listen. I want to remember that little is as important as what others have to say and as important as building strong relationships with my students

love this.

getting rid of ego will lead to deeper and more fulfilling conversations

listening and valuing other POV deepens your own knowledge

love this

i think this is important to remember. know your truth but dont be so stuck that you are unable to recognize other truths as well. being open to new ideas leads to growth

silence is important for processing and giving others times to think about how they can make connection

i like this idea and reminds me to be intentional with what i am saying

this also ties into some of the ideas from culturally responsive teaching

i think so often adults things of children thoughts as surface level and if they truely listened they would realize how deeps these ideas are and how much we can learn ffrom them

i want to remember this as learning turns to a virtual/ hybrid model. how will i get my students involved in the rebuilding the idea of community amist a pandemic

seeing children as competent leaders during times of crisis

having come from an art classroom with a co-teacher, I can attest to the the benefits

I love this exploration of measurement

I like how the teacher didn't tell her where she should be sitting but rather asked her a question AND asked her to show her response. that way the child can be confident in her answer and see how her drawing doesn't match

when I notice students need help showing I always bring my own materials and show on mine so they can try on their own

important to remember as an art teacher

I think that meetings between teachers are very important because actions can be missed and you may learn something from a teacher that explains that students actions in your classroom

I feel like this happens a lot due to our preset curriculum. Teachers want to make impactful messages and lessons to our students, however the standardized learning always comes first

I like this simile

when I started doing this in the hallway students would be so excited to see themselves. this is something I want to continue to do, while also adding personal quotations

I would like this to be a normalized occurrence in the art room. so many times I find out that my students have artist parents and wish that there were ways that they felt more comfortable being apart of the classroom and sharing their expertise

theme that is brought about by organic conversation of children

great example of the being playful with learning

^1 possible solution to question - small groups

love this for art classroom

I like the concept of being fully present in the learning. However, each learning experience is different for each student. Often times there are many activities happening at once. How do teacher commit themselves to being listener as the class size grows?

I like the idea that your teaching style might change from class to class, year to year. What works for some students may not work for another - there is both fluidity and flexibility in teaching

children rights

I like the idea of thinking about the roles of both the teacher and learner together. its important to think about the relationship the two have and how learning can happen when that bond is strong

love this. its important to take the time to slow down and recognize these things

teachers where very many hats and this should be recognized and encouraged

the importance of play, creativity and pretend

its important for students to teach one and other things, and its helps students feel value within the classroom

how can I give all students the opportunity to ask these questions about the moment? giving students opportunities to ask each other questions and answer?

this is so true. remembering to take the time and see life in the Childs eye will bring so much more creativity and joy to adult mundane tasks

this is something I am alway trying to remind myself. It is so easy to get wrapped up in flying past content to fit a schedule but its makes such a difference by giving students time to think and express themselves and also time to listen to other students

observation is important

I like how the teacher took into account how deeply students felt "being small" rather than accepting this as being just the way it is. Great example of listening and finding understanding

I like the idea of giving students different ways to communicate thought. this gives students who are nonverbal a chance to represent themselves without feeling ostersized

it is important to remember this when something a child says shocks or confuses you. we live in such. fast and reactive world, it is important to slow down

its is important that children know they have the right to all emotions

this is a good reminder to be fully present during conversation. I like the idea of using all your senses to listen.

I like this statement - I would like to use this for class rules

I love this statement and it is something that I want to foster in my classroom

I like the word "meeting" over "discussion". It sorta gives the idea that everyones voice is heard and seen as equal

involving parents in the learning will create conversations about learning at home, bring new ideas into the classroom discussions

more group learning experiences

this is a great example to visualize the idea of full observing the child

this is so true and something I want to remind myself to be mindful of. it is so easy to get wrapped up in other worries or what needs to be done next that often the present time isn't enjoyed. I want to take that time to be fully present for my students

if you learn it on your own, it becomes engrained in your memory rather when something is simply told to you

I have never thought of this. Often times I spend so much time trying to get everything just right so that students get as much out of the class time - maybe handing some of this role to the students

I think that this sometimes can be overlooked in a school. It is so important that the staff has built relationships with each other so that everyone feels they are working together towards a common goal - the education and whole being of our children. students can pick up of when staff is not working together and that does not build the community that is essential to school

LOVE

I like the idea of the teacher learning along side the teacher and coming up with a collaborative story of eduction along the way

I like the idea of finding joy in the unpredictable, its what makes things interesting and fun for the teacher/student/family

getting to know the students and families on a personal will help us better know how to teach our students and how they learn, their emotional capacity effects their learning

modeling the thought process as an adult so that children are taught how to question stay curious

this is really interesting. when educators in the building are not connected and working together we are modeling to our students that they should do the same.

this is so true. Students can sense when something is not "right" and often times will act differently because of this. This goes to show how emotionally capable children are

This is very reminiscent of the theories of CRT. It is important to look at students as children and just that. Not giving them labels and giving them the space and support to find themselves

love the idea of keeping art an important role in learning outside of the main studio. working with classroom teachers is a great way to make sure that students are constantly using they creative brain and working it like a muscle

would it be possible for students to play a role in documentation? perhaps not younger children but early elementary?

how often does this happen?

I find that when posing a general art question the responses I get are so varied and unique making the art room such a fun place to be. I want learning to to occur through experimentation and applaud mistakes as that leads to amazing outcomes

I love learning from my students

I love how important learning space is to the education of children. I think that sometimes this can be overlooked in mainstream education.

there are so many running parts of a whole child education and I like the idea of them running as a system. Each may play a different role, but each is essential to each others success

I think that it is so important that the parents play a role in their child education. this helps students bring new perspectives into the classroom, and also learn how to challenge perspective that don't suit them both at home and in school. I wonder what parent participation could look like in an art classroom?

I like the word "negotiationing", the idea of being resourceful with what you are surrounded by

the classroom teachers observations help lead to new ideas and theories. teachers are the ones that have direct contact in the learning and need to share what they are seeing in order to inform new ideas
