One of my two teaching placements will be in a language arts classroom for 7th and 8th graders at Barton Open School. The class is going to be focusing on social justice topics, therefore my knowledge of art and design can be incorporated into a lesson on how to use visual imagery to spread ideas.
My other placement is in a visual arts classroom at Field Community School, working with a similar age group. The teacher is hoping I can lead a lesson on Comics, my field of study.
For my shadowing position, I will be observing a weekend program for high schoolers at Urban Arts Academy.
I enjoy working with adolescents and look forward to what will come.
