Monthly News from the President's Palette

At the end of February, I had an opportunity to host an energizing and engaging Board Meeting, which focused on exploring how we can provide the best professional development and programming for our members in 2019 and beyond. We thought deeply about which
delicious
workshops
might be the perfect
menu items
for our conference program, making sure that we were considering all of the
dietary needs
that our membership has, including special requests. I encouraged the Board to think metaphorically about the idea of a
recipe
for an authentic leader. Some recipes had dashes of persistence, with sprinkles of optimism, ½ a cup of humor, or a scoop of collaborative elements whisked with open-mindedness. I suggested to creatively combine all ingredients with spices of dedication and determination when crafting a delectable dish for all 800 of our members.
Speaking of recipes, it never fails that when I hear that every March is YAM, or
Youth Art Month,
I think about my mother’s tasty sweet potatoes… FAEA wishes to invite all art educators to participate in YAM activities this month. Participate through a single class learning activity that focuses attention to the value of arts. Or, celebrate YAM through collaborations that result in multi-school art exhibits. You can start with one thing that you already are doing successfully and design a way to share the value gained by your students with parents, school administrators, the community, and with politicians.
If you celebrate YAM this month or have done a successful advocacy event, please send a picture, description, and/or media article to
info@faea.org
for it to be
included in Florida's YAM national report. Label your email with the title 'YAM Event.’ More information about YAM can be found at the
FAEA website.
In closing, I would also like to encourage you to send in your submissions for the
K-12 Student Art Assessment and Virtual Exhibition
through March 12th. The purpose of the program is to serve as a statewide assessment for visual art and promote the achievements of students enrolled in visual art classes throughout Florida. You can
visit the new and improved gallery
of previous students who won the
Award of Excellence
or the
Award of Excellence With Distinction.

NEW for 2019: Updated Session Formats
FAEA listened to your feedback and has updated the conference session formats so members can learn more content and gain extra experiences at conference. Now you can take more ideas back to the classroom.
- Demonstration Session (30 min.) - demonstrate a topic through an exploration and investigation of an art technique that will inform and inspire
- Art Forum (50 min.) - share a topic through a presentation that will inform and motivate
- Workshop Session (90 min.) - lead a "hands-on" experience that demonstrates an in-depth art medium strategy or process
NEW for 2019: Learning Pathways
At this year's conference, FAEA will present new learning pathways to align session content with its strategic plan and your school's improvement plan.
Each session proposal should align with one applicable learning pathway from below:
- Research & Knowledge: exploring research-based pedagogy, assessment, curriculum connections, educational research, strategies, and historical content and context
- Learning: discovering and experimenting with new techniques, skills, materials, and technology
- Community: collaborative learning experiences, panel discussions, special recognitions, connecting with colleagues, and teacher support and retention
- Advocacy: cultivating support for the arts and for individual programs through exhibition opportunities, voice, volunteerism, leadership opportunities, and addressing equity and access
Session proposals may also be submitted as "Other" for consideration.
