On a way-too-beautiful Saturday
morning recently, art teachers from around Vermont gathered in the CBMS art
studio to discuss Choice-Based Art education and the concept of
Teaching for Artistic Behavior.

| Vermont teachers take over the CBMS art studio on September 21, 2012 |
Each teacher brought a sample of
student art from their classrooms, and together we created a “pop-up
art show.” Tunbridge, Twinfield, Hyde Park, Waterbury & Georgia
were some of the schools represented. Topics discussed included; nuts
and bolts for organizing and maintaining choice-based classrooms,
approaches to assessment, teaching about and using "artist's statements," new books and other resources, and digital
portfolios.
Regional TAB gatherings are happening
all around the U.S., organized at the grassroots level for and by art
educators who value the opportunity to learn and grow from our
collective experience.
