A3) Praising effort rather than product is key to long term enjoyment of art. Including it in daily practce + growth mindset vocab #ECEchat

mrdkinderteach Feb 7 @ 10:05 PM EST

A4: Through #pbl students can have a choice and voice in their learning. Students can construct their own knowledge #ECEchat

JessicaCabeen - Moderator Feb 7 @ 10:06 PM EST

A4. Sir Ken Robinson says it best. Creativity supports Voice/Choice that lasts a lifetime. #ECEchat

love that video! Observation and critique should start young. #ecechat

ADutke Feb 7 @ 10:06 PM EST

I find it takes a lot of support & encouragement to get Ss to take risks w/ arts-music, dance, art Recognize skill/ability early on #ecechat

ADutke Feb 7 @ 10:04 PM EST

Q3 made me wonder... when is it developmentally appropriate to start assessing Ss development in the creative arts? #ecechat

knkalra Feb 7 @ 10:06 PM EST

YES! All of this. It's so important to demonstrate and appreciate joy in the process of creating. #ecechat

Q4 I am lucky to have a local seamstress that keeps scraps for my art center, the Ss are introduced to the new material #ECEchat

VealHeidi - Moderator Feb 7 @ 10:07 PM EST

A4. Creative mediums can give the quietest, reserved child a platform to shine. #ECEchat

I just read 'The Dot' to (4) PreK classes today-it was amazing to see how they responded to trying something new/hard. #ECEChat

techwnancy - Moderator Feb 7 @ 10:03 PM EST
Our attitude is important too. I've seen Ts model drawing something and say, "I'm not a good artist." We need a can do attitude. #ECEChat
- mrdkinderteach Feb 7 @ 10:00 PM EST
  
  A3: Ts can support students by letting them know that they are all artists. We can assess by conferring with students one on one #ECEchat

BlossJulie Feb 7 @ 10:08 PM EST

A4- Be an encourager! 😀 Give students lots of CHOICES for creative expression. Opportunities & time & support #ECEchat

ADutke Feb 7 @ 10:08 PM EST

A4. Incorporate the arts throughout the classroom. Make materials accessible to Ss at all times. #ecechat

My Ss are adorable, they always compliment my drawings, I say I practice all the time, and I try my best every time #perseverance #ecechat

A4) Have an art specialist in your building, Its is not just an option in middle / high school. Ss from a young age need exposure #ecechat

teachontheverge Feb 7 @ 10:13 PM EST

#ecechat A3 Assessment in the arts is an ongoing process of feedback and revision. Conclusions are always provisional #creativeprocess

mrdkinderteach Feb 7 @ 10:14 PM EST

A5: Take some risks, try new things, possibly get out of your comfort zone in some ways. Ss love the arts #ecechat

A5. Less is more. And let go of your own expectations and be OK with what might look like a "pinterest fail" #ecechat

GPearceWSD Feb 7 @ 10:15 PM EST

A5) Don't have to many "exact" details in mind, let studetns be creative & explore different art materials. #ecechat

A5: Don't make it complicated! It is something that kids do easily #ECEchat
