Introducing AOE eBooks! (free download)
Assessment
As Art Teachers, ‘assessment’ is going to become a bigger and bigger part of our lives going forward. As districts try to keep teachers more accountable, as we search for ways to improve our tactics and methods as well as providing real validation for our lessons, assessments will become a more and more important tool for Art Teachers to have at their disposal!
The good news? The Art of Education is going to help empower you to tackle assessment head on, and give you the tools to do it right, without all the confusion and complexity you might think it takes! As I was teaching the AOE Class “Assessment in Art Education” last Summer, several of the participants asked me if I could recommend any other books/resources to them so they could continue to study up on the topic. The truthful answer was that no, there really aren’t that many books out there on the topic, especially not ones designed just for Art Teachers. I never forgot that conversation.
So while you may have thought that on my maternity leave I was just changing diapers and dodging spit-up… you’d be wrong! I’ve been secretly working on something I am very proud to show you today – TWO original and unique Art Assessment eBooks designed to give Art Teachers the assessment tools they need, with the simplicity and relevance you expect from The Art of Education.
