I just entered this same post under "new teachers" & am putting it here as well:
Any high school art teachers left?! (12.5.05)
MY BACKGROUND:
Believe it or not, I am hoping to find a job teaching art in secondary school. I have my multiple sub credential (finished student teaching 2003), am taking the CSET exam (California) in Jan. '06 for my secondary credential in art, I have my CLAD masters in ed (just finished) but still have not actually entered the profession! I keep waiting for the pendulum to swing back to the visual arts, and arts in general, being integral to education here in the US. My BA is in art (emphasis: painting and drawing.) My full time career up to now has been as a scenic artist for theater and film. I have a huge amount to offer students and I get tremendous satisfaction when I am part of students' learning.
SPECIAL EDUCATION in the ART CLASSROOM QUESTION:
What adaptations/differentiated instructional strategies do you find you use the most often in your ART classroom for special education/mainstreamed students? Are these strategies different from ones you use for your general ed students--in the methods you use? frequency? planning? assessment?
GOOD, CURRENT ART TEACHING SOURCES YOU SUGGEST?
What sources do you suggest I look for information? Much of what I find is "ancient" -- from the mid-1990's, back just before NCLB and when art in the schools really started to get cut, etc.
Thanks for any suggestions and dialogue. :)
