In four days I begin my placement at Barclay Community Charter School and I feel a lot of anticipation as the time approaches. I'm excited for this new experience, to meet many many children, parents, and community members, and to make art together. Through this excitement I am realizing the expectations that I have for myself this year as well.
Within the year, I will explore the ways that art, art education, and fine art can all influence the quality of education for students within a public school. I think that it is important, also, that students have a hand in their own education, by taking on leadership roles in the classroom, determining what is significant and relevant in their own lives and articulating what is needed in order to succeed.
This is a time of significant potential growth in education, with the CORE curriculum emerging into selected subject areas, and the STEM program being integrated into after school programming. How can students be a part of this development?
