We will explore strategies for balancing authority in order to support a respectful, productive learning environment.

Communicating with Gen Y Students
Tony Albert, Vanessa Spang
Working with younger, first-year students can be a very different, and sometimes challenging, experience for even the most seasoned teachers. Gen Y students come to the classroom with different expectations and different social cues than what previous generations have become used to. How can we better communicate with and support them?

Empiricism versus Rationalism in the Arts
David Kesler
Empiricism is the "experience of the outside world"— site analysis, cultural analysis through the agency of "mapping". At its extreme it is reflected in purely figurative or representational work in all the arts. Rationalism is understood here as "internal thought process independent of exterior analysis". The danger here is purely autonomous work independent of culture or site. Abstract expressionism is one result. In this session we will discuss these two threads of artistic production as they relate to contemporary pedagogy.

Lesson Plans: Dynamic Plans for Every Class Session

Lesson plans are step-by-step guides for each class session that motivate students, provide new information, and allow time for practice and application of new knowledge. Create lesson plans to organize 3 or 6-hour sessions, use time wisely and keep a record of what you've accomplished throughout the semester.

Tailoring "The Critique"
Natasha Haugnes
Critique is the essence of a visual arts education. While we often refer to "The Critique" as if it were a singular practice, critiques are actually as varied as the content of the courses we teach. Share successful critique practices, and explore a model to identify the most appropriate techniques for your own context.
