Art
Clay is a living material and has such human qualities. Working with clay, students become more empathic. They develop a sense of care because they have to carry their vessel from a clumsy lump of clay into something that’s of use, which has worth and meaning. That’s what pottery is.

Art
In the actual doing or making of art, encouraging students to experiment usually leads them to choosing content motivated by distinct interests. What they care about becomes clear as they invest time, materials and themselves—therefore, the creative process serves as a catalyst for personal transformation, assisting the self to purpose.

Professor
Liberal Studies in Education
For years, I taught with success but did not fully understand the basis for that success. As my pedagogical research progressed, a teaching and learning model emerged that advances my teaching and guides professional development for other classroom teachers. This discovery continues to strengthen my teaching as I work and learn with my students.
