Annual Fall Conference Supervision and Administration Division Meeting
Presenter(s): Stacia Gower Sat., Nov. 21 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM
The Administration and Supervision Division will host our annual Fall Conference meeting on Saturday, November 21, 2020 from 1:00-3:00 PM.This year our meeting will take place virtually via a Zoom session. This session agenda includes time to recognize our 43 new District of Distinction inductees. We will celebrate their efforts providing quality visual art programs that encourage creative student learning and growth. If you are interested in learning more about this award program we will provide more information during this session. We are looking forward to growing the program and hope to have many more districts across the state participate for the 20202021 school year.
As administrators we have been involved in constructing a very different approach to education the past 6-7 months. Fine arts administrators and educators have worked together to design and implement instruction programs that encompass virtual and face-to-face learning. We have shared successes as well as challenges and managed to find the avenues that “work” as we focus on what "we can do" and "not on what we can’t do". We have lined up several presenters, experienced teachers and administrators, who will briefly share ideas and information that you can take back to your district and share with your visual art team. We are finding that visual art educators are leaders in developing students' social and emotional growth and learning even through online learning platforms. Sandra Newton (co-chair) and I hope you will join us for the celebration and presentations.

How do we deliver best practices in art education through hybrid learning models? The good news is the ideas are the same, but how we get them out may have to be changed a little! Need some Google tips? Wondering how to run a decent asynchronous critique? Maybe you are out of ideas for kids with no supplies? Join us and share your wisdom with those that need it and come away a little more inspired. And if all that doesn’t do it for you, our live session will have giveaways!
