I have been teaching for ten years, trained under the DBAE model and value what it has taught me as an teacher. However, I wanted to see a more authentic learning envirnment. I can remember certain instances when talking to parents about their childs enthusiasm toward art and wondering why I didn't get some of the same in the classroom. Once I began implementing more choice in my classroom. I began to see how divergent the children were. All children can learn, but they don't learn the same way, and my way isn't always the best way. The students artwork is hardly ever perfect, sometimes neat, sometime messy and needs more explanation than in the past. But, I know it came from the child. I can see how they have internalized what they have learned and how they have chosen to use it in their art work.Clark Fralickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06077216426149178485noreply@blogger.com
