Judy, would the debate of Advanced Placement Art instruction (AP) vs International Baccalaureate instruction (IB) be appropriate here? Again, thanks for all you do in promoting the arts in education. Judie Hi All! I'm leading a discussion on art education issues at our National Sales Meeting next week and need your input. It seems to me that the "hot topics" lately have been: *computer technology *budgets *art assessment & standards *keeping updated with new ideas *resources-censorship, nudity, etc. Do you agree with this list? If there is something I should add or if you think these are not the "hot topics" to include in our discussion, I would appreciate hearing your thoughts. All your input is highly valued . Please e mail privately to me . Thanks for any help. Judy Nagel <jnagel@saxarts.com ---
