Teaching Philosophy
As a high school art teacher, my teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that art is a powerful vehicle for self-expression, critical thinking, and personal growth. My goal is to create a dynamic and inclusive learning environment where students feel inspired to explore their creativity while developing essential skills that extend beyond the art studio.
Teaching Method
Blended Project-Based Learning is a model in which the student uses both online learning—either in the form of courses or self-directed access—and face-to-face instruction and collaboration to design, iterate, and publish project-based learning assignments, products, and related artifacts.
This style of learning is primarily characterized by: its versatility to meet the needs of a variety of formal and informal learning processes and the use of online resources to support project-based learning.
