Preservice Teaching

In my preservice art teaching experience, I've had the incredible opportunity to delve into the world of curriculum design, lesson planning, and creating supportive art classroom experiences. Through hands-on experience and mentorship, I've developed engaging and innovative lesson plans tailored to nurture creativity and critical thinking in my students. My journey in preservice teaching has equipped me with the skills and passion to inspire a diverse next generation of artists and learners.
