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!
