Please respond to the following prompts: 1. Summarize the key points you learned from this Professional Development experience. How to network with other Art educators. How to collaborate with other Art educators. How to gather information from Art educators and apply it toward my lessons and strategies.

2. Discuss how these key points connect to your content area. I had the opportunity to be able to share in the knowledge offered by veteran Art educators. This is important because we should be able to learn from those with experiences and use their knowledge to make lessons more effective. 3. Share how you might use this new information in your future classroom. I believe my involvement in the National Arte Education Association will allow me to become a better Art educator and leader in my field. The focus on datadriven instruction and classroom strategies offered through the organization will serve to strengthen my ability to reach students utilizing a number of techniques.
