Thoughts-Peggy Larson

Take risks as an art teacher after the first few years.
Live in the moment and just roll with it.  Improvise when needed and be flexible as an educator.  Respect a students ideas and influences. Take action on students inputs.
Reward students now. They shouldn't have to wait 12 years for a diploma.  Make sure you are recognizing students efforts and dedication to art in school.
Advocate the arts and reach out to your community.
Everyone's decisions now impact the future of arts.
Incorporate contemporary art and don't become complacent with traditional lesson plans.
Have high expectations for your students and they will rise to the occasion.
