This year I began my 17th year teaching and feel as much passion for my craft as I did my first year. I have taught K-12 art in a variety of schools in the state of Kansas. I am currently an elementary art instructor in a public school.
I follow Discipline Based Art Education in my classroom and my teaching style is that of a guide or facilitator. My job is to mentor students and coach them to make the best decisions they can make.
