NACE Competencies

Through my research on alternative photography, I’ve embraced equity and inclusion by using sustainable, low-cost materials that reduce barriers to participation. These accessible processes create space for all students to engage creatively, regardless of background, resources, or prior experience.

Introducing alternative photography enhances my communication skills as I explain complex processes in clear ways. Students also share and reflect on their work, allowing me to facilitate discussions and provide meaningful feedback.

Teaching alternative photography helps me develop leadership skills by guiding students through hands-on, experimental processes. I lead by example, encouraging exploration and problem-solving while fostering a supportive environment where students can take ownership of their artistic growth.
