Teaching Onlie Arts Integration Workshops for William Paterson University under the Dodge Arts Integration Grant

This week I presented two online Arts Integration Workshops for William Paterson University under the Dodge Arts Integration Grant serving the Paterson Public Schools and neighboring schools.
Please see the below links for the STEAMemPOWERment blog piece I recently wrote on these workshops.  




In addition, I am providing the WP Twitter and FB links here for the event.

While it is a challenging work to translate in-person Arts Integration teaching practice to online teaching practice I do feel we are all getting there one day at a time!

For me personally, the goal is emphasizing the Ten Lessons the Arts Teach by the late Eliot Eisner https://www.arteducators.org/advocacy-policy/articles/116-10-lessons-the-arts-teach.  I met Dr. Eisner personally at an NAEA Conference in the 90's and will never forget his compelling Keynote on these non-negotiable fundamentals of Art Education,

Stay safe everyone!
