What:
Thanks to Escalante's final assignment to compile an Art's Journal, I will have easy access to any and all ideas we shared throughout the course of this Creative Arts class. There were quite a few presentations where I don't think I would feel comfortable attempting to have my future students learn a topic in that way (such as any of the Red Hot Process Drama Tools).
So What:
Because we worked in groups and learned together how to use these tactics in everyday school subjects, my courage and intentions to use them have greatly increased. I am a teacher who will always see the positive possibilities of incorporating the arts into my classroom each and every day.
Now What:
As this semester draws to a close, I am even closer to realizing my dream to be a teacher and make a difference with those students who are fortunate enough to have been assigned me as their teacher. The creative Arts can be used as a quick "brain booster" as the most simplistic, and then move to the other side of the spectrum and be the lesson plan for an entire unit. Learning in new and creative ways is part of RAD teaching and the students who participate will be so much further along in every academic and emotional standing.
Long Live the Creative Arts! Thanks again for a wonderful, enlightening, and fun class!
