As an Art educator, my goals include providing a foundation in art and inspiring students to be authentic. I also strive to create a learning environment where every student feels included, valued, and encouraged. It is paramount to me that all of my students have a positive experience. My students know they are valued and represented in their learning. They can create personal art inspired by a diverse variety of artists and themes. In an inclusive art room, students learn and thrive from identifying similarities and celebrating differences in others.
