What inspires you in the classroom?: Teaching learners of all ages to believe in themselves and gain confidence through their unique, creative ideas during art class inspires me to be a better art teacher! I love watching when students have worked hard in art class, finish a project, and are then proud to show off their artwork! I also love building a community of kindness, creativity, acceptance, and positivity in the art room to make it a space that every child feels welcome and successful.
