On Saturday, Jan. 30, El Dorado High School arts teacher and 2015 State Finalist for Teacher of the Year Kathleen Switzer gave the keynote address at the “Arts at the Center Conference” at California State University, Fullerton. The theme for this second annual event was “Building Inclusive Practices,” which emphasized that the arts offer unique opportunities to build inclusive learning environments.
This conference gathered educators and administrators, students and faculty, and youth leaders from Orange County and beyond to participate in a day of workshops and art-making experiences. Participants learned strategies to enhance their arts-infused practices, developed arts advocacy leadership skills and connected with others committed to exploring the relationship between the arts, inclusion and 21st century learning.
Mrs. Switzer spoke for about 20 minutes about the importance of arts education.
