Thing 4

I looked closely at the the deficiencies workers are lacking and noticed that the Arts teach the skills that these workers are lacking. There are National and State Standards to provide students the means to communicate, reflect and evaluate artwork. I try to incorporate these skills with my lessons when I teach students Art concepts. The Art teacher must juggle art production and reflection within a limited amount of student contact time.

I believe that teachers must model what it takes to become a life long learner. Achievable goals should be set, shared, and then celebrate the achievement of meeting the goals. I think the global student will need to be self-motivated, disciplined and be willing to explore new things.
