"#1 Introducing Arts Education" to view the
free video***What do you think about the video? Below are my thoughts.
1. What is valuable about the arts in the classroom?
It allows them to be creative and gives them self-esteem to
do better in other areas in the classroom. In return it brings their scores up.
It’s also something fun to do with teaching and reinforcing other subjects.
2. What did you notice about the teachers in the video?
I noticed that they were all passionate about the arts and
truly believed in the impact it had on children at school. I also noticed they
asked children questions and whatever the answer the children gave it was
correct, but the teacher always gave them alternate ways to look at the
question.
3. Was there anything that you viewed that you would attempt
to do in your future classroom?
What I would use in my classroom would be what the video
recommended about integrating the arts in other subject areas in school. Also I
liked how they said a form of assessment was not what the children memorized
for a test but something you could see by watching the children.
