Years ago when our district began district wide reform efforts our
arts administrator
urged every art teacher to volunteer for reform committees in our
schools. We made
sure our voices were heard loudly and everywhere. I highly recommend
getting
on any committee dealing with change or with budgets. It is an
effective strategy.
We went to site based management and building by building, art
teachers were
on those management teams.
