The Ryan Act of 1970 eliminated arts training from elementary school pedagogy. It wasn’t until 2004 that teachers were again required to have arts training in order to be elementary school educators and to be considered a “highly qualified teacher”. This fact makes the efforts of our guest, Gina Garro, all the more impressive. With Akeisha Johnson, life coach and your show host, this episode of Making it Work, we will chat with this third grade teacher and amateur artist about how she is keeping Common Core in public schools interesting and relevant. |
