Episode 55 - Jess Dickey and Sarah Chase, Deerfield Community School

Artists of New England

Sarah Chase and Jess Dickey share the highlights and challenges of their incredible art program at Deerfield Community School in NH. "A choice based art program provides all the elements that we want our students to have in an art program. There is time for instruction and demonstration by the teacher, time for practice and time for final product, time for sharing, reflecting and self-evaluation, and there is time for assessment by the teacher. There is also the element of choice, which allows our students to authentically express themselves using the skill set they have acquired throughout the years in the artist workshop."
