  1. As a fellow art teacher, your website is AMAZING!
    You have really done an excellent job. I am motivated to do something similar.

    Thanks!

    1. Thank you. Take a look at the links on the right side. There is my Handbook for the Art Department. I worked on it to have the same information as a guide for ALL of my students. The goals are from the national standards (unpacked by a committee of students and myself and my student teacher). I am THRILLED about the way GOALS have worked in my class on a DAILY (every day), as a place for self-reflection and evaluation. Thanks for your input! I appreciate it. Take a read on this book: Feedback
      The Hinge That Joins Teaching and Learning at http://www.sagepub.com/books/Book236077/reviews. Gives some good info and One Teacher at a Time (Janie Pollock) http://www.amazon.com/Improving-Student-Learning-Teacher-Time/dp/1416605207.

      1. I am SO excited to sit down and study your web site this weekend. I’ll get back to you and let you know how mine is coming.

      1. That is so funny because I think I’m going to have a lot of “how” questions. This is my nineteenth year teaching and I’m so excited! How do you use your goals effectively and not bore the kids? I always have to reach that goal of mine. (keeps them interested and keeps the ones who work so much awake. )

      2. The goals are the starting point for each class. The goals are referred to as the class continues and then looked back on at the end of the hour. The goals were distilled from the National Visual Arts Standards with a committee of students, myself, and a student teacher that was working with me. They are NOT agenda items, but they are higher level, cross-life (not just curricular) goals. The goals, I believe, keep the kids focused on the task they are working on without the gols being the task at hand… if that makes sense. My AP Studio Artists don’t use them as well as the rest, but I still use them with the kids. The use of goals in the beginning fires the brain up and the Generalization at the end allows them to close the door on their thoughts, summarize the activities and learning for the day. I sit down on Sundays and work thorugh a detailed lesson plan for the week that is based around the GANAG planning and delivery system. Goals, Accessing Prior Knowledge, New Information, Activity, Generalization and it helps me REALLY stay on task and aware of the lessons and intent. FKorb@waterforduhs.k12.wi.us is my e-mail (262) 492-9090 (cell) if you are interested in talking about it and e-mail isn’t cutting it.
