Session Abstract

Bad Advice for Teachers

As educators, we receive formative advice from instructors, mentors, and peers about how to teach, but how often do we stop and consider the merits of that advice? During this workshop, attendees will reflect critically on teaching practices in order to identify unhelpful recommendations and develop more thoughtful teaching practices.

Session format

The Education Committee promotes the visual arts as an essential aspect of human activity; as a creative endeavor and subject of cultural and historical inquiry and critical appreciative activity, and encourages excellence in teaching at all levels. Its focus is on pedagogy at the higher education level in art history, visual culture, studio, aesthetics, and art criticism, and on the interface between arts teaching and learning research and practice.
