The Art of Education University has led me on a transformational journey in my profession as an art educator and teacher-leader. The entire AOEU community has become my circle of mentors, guiding me to places inside myself that I never knew existed. Through my learning, growth, and connection with other AOEU students, I have flourished.
[Assessment in Art Education] was extremely relevant and helped organize the nuts and bolts of my teaching and assessment experience into manageable strategies while presenting some new concepts to strive for.
I’m a better educator, better artist, and better advocate and activist because of my experience getting my Master of Arts degree through AOEU.
I really learned a lot in [Art Therapy for Art Teachers] and am excited to bring a whole new level to teaching in implementing social-emotional learning to help my students’ well-being.
I am happy to end [Designing Your Art Curriculum] with a working document that will help me to teach my class and write more curricula for other courses.
