Currently I believe that I am at a stage in my art teaching career where I understand the techniques and practices of an art educator. I understand how to write lessons plans and curriculum maps and have the knowledge to come up with my own ideas. Likewise, I know where to find and how to use other resources to inspire and borrow from others.
Where am I going...
As I listed earlier I think that I have a strong understanding of what it takes to be an art educator. One thing in particular I want to work on is engaging with all the students in the classroom and gaining more comfort with instructing the students. I also want to feel open and free to any criticism because I feel that it is an important part of an educators growth.
Nice blog, overall, Mr. Parker! You will definitely gain more experience instructing the students and engaging them as you complete your practicum. I'm looking forward to working with you this semester again.
