Episode notes
Art Reveals Integrated Learning
- Art classrooms let students show integrated learning across subjects through making and presentation.
- Jeff Robin argues art naturally reunites writing, science, math and history into visible student work.
Do The Project Yourself First
- Do the project yourself before assigning it so you can model process, pitfalls and quality.
- Use short demos and then spend class time coaching students individually while they work.
Teach With An Artist's Habits
- Treat teaching like an artist: obsess, iterate and keep evolving your practice.
- Replace 'artist' with 'teacher' and bring playful, experimental habits to curriculum design.
