ADVOCACY...

Thank you to Exhibit Co-Chair, Jody Boyer, for organizing the show this year. Omaha Public Schools supported in several ways.  Dr. Alati, principal at Norris Middle School, provided Jody professional days to manage the 3-day exhibit.  OPS art department provided the display boards and Angie Fischer assisted with getting the boards on location. Gloria Nelson, Lorinda Rice, Jocelyn Reiss, and Lynette Fast assisted with set up and advocacy during the exhibit.

The Benefits of Attending Art Education Conferences
It's time to make plans for NAEA National Convention March 26-28, 2015 in New Orleans. NAEA provides several resources to help you advocate to attend: A Make Your Case and Encouragement Letter are available. You can also view a preliminary schedule and some convincing thoughts from Arkansas Art Educators to advocate for funding from your district to attend professional development opportunities.....And while you're at it, make plans for the 2015 NATA Fall Convention next September in Omaha. 

Do You Use YouTube in the Classroom? 
Please consider sharing your art classroom playlist with other art teachers.  Email us the playlist URL and we will post it on the blog as a resource.  Here's a playlist to get you started.
