Join me to explore how to use the power of student-directed learning to meet the changing needs of both students and teachers. Come try a centres-based approach to arts education and gain a deeper understanding of classroom practices and strategies for creating studio communities that empower all learners to make art that is uniquely theirs. Leave with inspiration, ideas, and a realistic action plan for your classroom (and some free materials to support that plan).
