Today Clyde and I welcome a very special guest: Julie Toole. During our conversation, we look at what is white privilege and how we can practice DEI+J in the TAB studio,    Julie has been a teacher for 30 years, 20+ in Chicago Public schools and is currently teaching art at a private progressive school, pre-k-8th grade. She has been a TAB teacher and TAB mentor for the last 10 years and co-lead at the elementary level group at the TAB Summer Institute at MassArt and part of the Executive Board for TAB, INC. As a transracially adoptive mother of two children of color, She has been on a personal journey on understanding her whiteness and privilege in order to be actively anti-racist in her work and life. This has led her to participate in SEED (Seeking Educational Equity and Diversity) cohorts and then to do the training to become a SEED facilitator at her school. She has co-led groups for parents and for staff. She is also part of the EQaT (equate) team at her school (Equity in Action), the parent EqAT group, and teaches an elective course for her middle schoolers called Artist as Activist. Five years ago she started a GSA (Gender Sexuality Alliance) club at her school and together they do school-wide events such as Day of Silence and Ally Week.  Show Notes: White Privilege  Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack Windows and Mirrors of Your Child's Bookshelf - Ted Talk William Pinar - What is Curriculum Theory?

Assessment

Excuse us for the late nature of this podcast. There were several things that prevented us from getting together to have our biweekly discussion. There was the Spring Fine Arts Festival that was another smash hit. Then we had Spring Break. Who wants to work over Spring Break. and finally, my incessant bout of bronchitis. You will notice that my voice is rather soft during this podcast. I apologize in advance.  Plus, I have been experimenting in the fashion of TAB with the equipment for this podcast. I saved enough pennies to purchase a mixer and two mics. This should allow me greater flexibility to host guests in the future but in the meantime. Please be patient while I am still learning. Thank you. In this podcast, Clyde and I discuss a few difficulties new TAB teachers face and probably should do or not do.  a quiet classroom stress over materials stress over mess  Also mentioned in this podcast is FlipGrid.

The Unmotivated Student

Curriculum and instruction is the heart and soul of TAB pedagogy. In this podcast the two veteran art teachers have a wide ranging discussion about their teaching practice. They discuss the importance of weaving art education content into emergent creative experience while name dropping several artists and educators. Clark and Clyde also discuss lesson demonstration transitions to studio activities, interacting with learners and how they use open ended questions to scaffold children's art experience.

A conversation with Katherine Douglas

In this episode, we discuss constructivism and how it relates to a TAB artroom. As mentioned in the podcast. Here are the twelve indicators (TAB) adapted from In Search of Understanding: The Case for Constructivist Classrooms by Jacqueline Grennon Brooks and Martin G. Brooks 1.Choice based art teachers encourage and accept student autonomy and initiative.  2.Because of the very nature of visual arts education, choice based art teachers use primary sources and raw, physical, manipulative interactive materials to inspire and catalyze learners. 3.Choice based art teachers encourage students to generate, utilize and create their own ideas and artistic problems when engaged in art making activities.  4.In order to facilitate ownership, choice based art teachers allow students to drive artistic activity, shift instructional strategies and alter instructional content. 5.Choice based art teachers make inquiries into student’s previous knowledge of artistic content and encourage students to express their knowledge before sharing their own understandings. 6.Choice based art teachers encourage students to engage in dialogue and artful conversation, communicating art ideas, knowledge and creative processes with one another.   7.Choice based art teachers encourage students to research their art and ideas. 8.Choice based art teachers seek and encourage student reflective thinking expressed through ongoing dialogue, reflective writing and artist statements.   9.Choice based art teachers engage students in experiences that contradict their initial understandings of content or hypothesis and then initiate discussion for student’s further consideration. 10.Choice based art teachers afford students time for artistic ideas to incubate.    11.Choice based art teachers allow students time to develop understandings of art content.   12.Choice based art teachers facilitate learning through the use of discovery, introduction of concepts and concept application. The “Learning Cycle Model” (discovery learning) is a distinctive feature of choice based art education.
