The lesson sometimes ends up on the centers shelf for further practice. Cool right! Good investigating I want to check back here to see how it goes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05782513928143522368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592492505091408673.post-61452747586677914692013-01-30T08:45:51.655-06:002013-01-30T08:45:51.655-06:00I smiled at your post as I went through this exact...I smiled at your post as I went through this exact dilemma after a NAEA conference a few years ago. I was able to switch to TAB for one grade level... it gave me a taste of how it would work. I can't say that I kept all of it but I definitely improved my teaching by adding aspects of choice to my lessons. Good luck!

I have held off on opening some of my centers for fear that I won't be able to control it all. The students are so much more engaged when I let them choose. It is amazing.Andreanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592492505091408673.post-52942814756992274212013-01-29T19:05:02.341-06:002013-01-29T19:05:02.341-06:00Thanks, Hope!

I mentioned part of my identity crisis in a paper for my grad class and the professor said I'm being hard on myself. Really, I'm just trying to be objective!Katie Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10056783451407075827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592492505091408673.post-14365706617441744822013-01-29T19:03:48.563-06:002013-01-29T19:03:48.563-06:00Yep, I've gotten a lot of information from the...Yep, I've gotten a lot of information from the TAB website (and their Yahoo group).

There's never going to be a time when everyone agrees on the intention of art education, or art for that matter, so just ride it out and keep putting your strengths first.Hope Hunter Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15815277347271501092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592492505091408673.post-65875899115059535762013-01-29T18:37:38.133-06:002013-01-29T18:37:38.133-06:00I don't know much about TAB but it certainly i...I don't know much about TAB but it certainly is an appealing approach to teaching art. There are quite a few components that I like and think should be implemented in art when we can. A while back I did a post on teaching styles and a lady named Kathy included a few links in her comment. I don't want to clog your comment section with links, but I'll include a website that she recommended. http://teachingforartisticbehavior.org/<br />Go with your gut and if the way you are teaching isn't working, change it. Can't wait to see how or if you make a transition!<br />Patty Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00085225715086624172noreply@blogger.com
