With FLEX, the lesson format and materials have made it super easy to refresh our curriculum, which keeps art teachers engaged. If art teachers are bored, students are bored.
“The big difference with the FLEX Curriculum is the quality of the lessons. Our district is very studio based. It’s all about projects and hands-on learning. It’s doing, creating, making—it’s a very artistic mindset type of learning. These FLEX lessons really lend themselves to what we’re trying to do, and we feel that it really helps our new art teachers.”
PRO Packs have been incredibly helpful in helping teachers feel supported. Veteran teachers and new teachers are able to pick and pull what they want or use all of it. Sometimes, I’m unable to have a 20–30 minute discussion with them. I can direct them to this resource.
Love it all! It is so hard to find good art resources and you provide such a great variety. The PRO Learning videos are so helpful with so many examples and explanations! It has been a lifesaver for me as a first-year high school art teacher … Thank you!
