Each method serves a purpose in guiding students&#8217; artistic growth and creating a supportive environment where they feel safe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0pt 0px; line-height: 1.38; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 11pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">One on one conversations<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">: I check in with students at least once per period while they are actively working on their projects. Though these conversations are informal, they are personalized, open dialogues where we discuss their progress, ask questions, and discuss new perspectives. I incorporate the voices of their peers in these discussions as well by asking their opinions, what they would do, etc. I highlight areas where they show growth as well as where they could go next. My goal with this type of feedback is for students to be able to reflect and refine, set goals, and get new perspectives and ideas. I come with a \u201cdo no harm\u201d approach, so I rarely give suggestions, and instead ask questions to help them reach a conclusion of their own. These informal conversations are intended to build a supportive and trusting relationship with my students, helping them feel valued and understood. It also provides an opportunity for immediate feedback while they are in progress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0pt 0px; line-height: 1.38; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 11pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Rubrics\/written feedback:<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">While I prefer dialogues, I understand the importance of written feedback. When my students submit their completed projects, I provide detailed and specific feedback on their work. This gives students something to look back on and consider for future work. I utilize rubrics with clear wording to show different competency levels, so they are hard to personalize for students. The intent of this feedback is to guide students&#8217; learning and help them understand their strengths and areas for growth. It aims to promote critical thinking, improve their artistic skills, and encourage self-reflection. This process empowers students to take ownership of their learning and develop their artistic practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0pt 0px; line-height: 1.38; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">When I was in high school, I didn\u2019t always get helpful or personalized feedback from my teachers, so I want students to be involved in the feedback process. I often ask how they best receive feedback and use surveys to gather new ideas. Their voices are crucial, especially with a class as personal as art. In so many of their other classes there is a \u201cright\u201d answer, and I want them to have more autonomy in mine. It is important that I get to know each student so that I can respect their cultural backgrounds. I do sometimes find my ability to give feedback restricted by bureaucratic things like rubrics (even as I use them), class size, standards, and time constraints. I do my best to find a balance between the restraints and meeting individual student needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0pt 0px; line-height: 1.38; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">I believe my strength as an educator is my ability to build strong connections with my students. As I give them feedback, I create open dialogues so they feel comfortable opening up to me about the ideas behind their artwork. I strive to give feedback that highlights their strengths and gives them specific, actionable goals as they keep working. One of my goals for next year is to provide alternative modes of feedback and have students look to each other as resources. This year, I did have some peer review\/critiques in my AP Art class, but I am hoping to implement this into my intro classes as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-weight: bold; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Show Less<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 5px 0px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: 14.6667px;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reflect on what you\u2019ve learned.
