(On more than one occasion local television and newspaper crews were in <br /> attendance and made public our school's event.) While at The Carrboro ArtsCenter and the <br /> NCMA, I created end-of-program art shows for parents and artists, including two large format art <br /> shows at Marbles Kids Museum. <br /> While teaching full-time in public and privates schools I created and ran after school Art Clubs <br /> meeting one day a week for an hour. Every year this club was filled to capacity. <br /> While teaching K-8, I entered middle school students in the annual Scholastic Art and Writing <br /> competition. Each year, a number of my students were accepted into the regional,juried art show <br /> and each year at least one of my students won gold and went on to compete nationally in New <br /> York City. Twice, my students have won national gold prizes and their art was displayed in <br /> Carnegie Hall. <br /> While at public/private schools, I participated in all-school projects and publications such as: <br /> poetry/art anthology, set-design for school plays/musicals, author visits, fund-raisers and charity <br /> projects, art for assemblies and special events. <br /> In schools settings, I designed and maintained an art teacher website which included homework <br /> postings, monthly newsletters, a digital art gallery of student work and was utilized regularly by <br /> students, parents and teachers. <br /> In addition to continuous, one-on-one feedback during projects, I have developed a rich battery <br /> of methods for evaluating student performance including project rubrics, concept building <br /> exercises, sketchbooks assignments, self/peer evaluations, reflective post-project exercises, and <br /> small-group and whole-class critiques (both mid and post-project). <br /> I create and maintain dynamic, inspiring, safe and well-organized art classrooms/studios in <br /> which students understand expectations and are free to create in a positive, supportive <br /> environment. <br /> I am a conversational Spanish speaker. <br /> PROESSIONAL AFFILIATIONS AND INVOLVEMENT <br /> Durham Art Guild, Current Member Artist <br /> National Art Education Association(NAEA), Current Active Member <br /> Author/Presenter, "Altered Books, Altered Minds,NAEA Convention, Seattle, 2011 <br /> New York State Art Teachers Association (NYSATA), Former Chair and Member, 2001-2005 <br /> John Dewey Society, 2002-2004 <br /> 12 <br />
