What do art teachers do in the summer? Clyde's Summer

"When art teachers are not engaged in professional development classes, or teaching summer art camps or involved in other learning opportunities, we might be involved in advocacy work, research, curriculum development, grant writing, traveling or creating art.

In my own situation, I am currently involved in advocacy work. This past spring, AEAI formed a new advocacy committee charged with creating new strategies and tools that members may employ in order to strengthen policies that affect art education at the legislative level. We are planning other strategies and actions also. This work is ongoing.

Also during the summer I am involved in developing an art education news magazine Indiana art teachers will receive later in the fall.

Of course, those of us with families continue to be involved in the lives of our loved ones and taking time off for well deserved vacations."
