To be taken srsly
So after I posted about the Art Power program I started at our school, I created a slideshow with the images I posted below & descriptions and sent it to my principal, vice principal, guidance, and head of the board. The head of the board then sent it to a million other people and I received feedback like this via email:
“Dear Amber,
You are an amazing teacher. (school’s name) is a wonderful place because you put children first. Every student feels special in your classroom. You make every child feel like an artist! Thank you!
Regards,
so and so”
and from another big bad board member:
“This is wonderful! The children are so expressive through their art work. I like the way that she is helping these students through art to sort things out in their lives. She is gifted. This is a wonderful example of teaching one’s subject matter outside of the box and empowering the students to positively address things that may be on their minds. Ms. G. is an extraordinary teacher. I am extremely happy that she is a (school’s) teacher! Kudos to her and the students in the Art Power class!
Dr. so&so”
feels good. This is why I give my students as much praise as I can.
