Thanks Kathy for posting Carolyn's Blog. I enjoyed the
work.
TAB Choice is growing (Teaching for Artistic
Behavior). If students don't seem to be motivated to
do your lessons - maybe it isn't the kids? It could be
your lesson. TAB CHOICE MOTIVATES. I have updated the
page on Incredible Art Resources for Choice Based Art
Education:

I won't bore you with my own philosophy on how my
classroom was also "Choice" - my ways worked for me
and my students. I wrote one lesson plan that was neat
and tidy for the administrators (and to save me time
writing)....but a whole lot more was going on in my
classroom. I never wrote down all of the lessons I was
teaching.
The link for the Yahoo TAB Choice list is on my page
if you want to check in and see how TAB Choice is
working for other teachers.
