TAB Institute

After experimenting with a modified version of the TAB (Teaching for Artistic Behavior) approach to art education, I had the incredible opportunity to attend the summer TAB Institute at my alma mater, Massachusetts College of Art and Design. It was an inspirational whirlwind week of engaging with some of the most cutting edge research in art education and discussing how best to put it to use. I am so grateful to have participated in this course, and I will be using so much of what I learned when I revamp my art program this Fall.

I work with young artists in preschool and elementary school to help them develop artistic behaviors that will benefit them in any chosen discipline. Using the TAB (Teaching for Artistic Behavior) approach, students in my class practice working habits to foster creativity, persistence, and engagement.
