What Are Teachers Saying?
NDE Fine Arts, NATA and SAAM held the first webinar, "Art Museums Can Help Me Teach?" in the series in late February. Here's what some of the attendees are saying.
"As an elementary art teacher, I really enjoyed the Smithsonian workshop. There were several interactive opportunities for us as educators to examine ways to discuss American artwork with our students....Peg, the instructor, gave many options to differentiate discussions for different age groups. The ending of the workshop provided an incredible resource for teachers of all different backgrounds. I look forward to using these resources and sharing them with other teachers in my schools." - Kameran, Kearney Public Schools
"Thank you for an amazing and informative evening!" Christine, Blue Hill Public Schools & Hastings College
"Wow! The session...was outstanding! There were several activities emphasizing learning strategies that I can use with my own students! And Peg ended the session sharing the many, many, MANY resources of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. I immediately found resources and images that I can use with the themes I'm currently doing with my learners: sanctuary and play! It was an hour well spent!" Bob, Lincoln Public Schools
