I’m re-entering teaching and curious where salaries are at for art teachers.
I taught for 7 years, have a BFA, masters and certification. Highest salary I ever made was at a NYC private school: 55k.
That was 11 years ago. I never want to be paid that low again as a full time teacher.
How about you?

Hello! I recently started in a new district teaching mostly elementary art. One day a week I go to the Middle/High school building and teach from a cart. I don’t have anywhere to keep supplies aside from my cart and I’m trying to work on organization systems to keep student work organized as well as supplies! This is the cart I have! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Also when I’m not there my cart lives next to an office with other carts. I work in a special services district so supplies like scissors and certain things I need to keep not as accessible.

Was showing my third graders how to use their ink markers (bingo daubers with India ink) and this is how the ink decided to spill when demonstrating to kids how not to use their ink markers ? Happy Monday!!!

I fee like at my school arts are kind of an afterthought. I don’t think my principal even came to our art show. Anyway to promote the idea that the arts are important in the school culture?

I need some ideas for pre k. If I remember correctly, I only have them once every couple of weeks (I’m a new art teacher. I’ve only been at the school for like 5 or 6 weeks). There’s usually about 20 of them and I know I don’t wanna do anything with paint. I’ve been trying to find things related to spring because it’s officially spring. Thanks in advance!

I would like to include some gender diverse artists, not to have a discussion of pronouns or sexuality , but just so my young non-binary students can see artists who refer to themselves as they/them...etc. As a these artists "just happen to be" thing. Artists I am finding online tend to show more mature content or not art I think the kids would respond to. Any reccs appreciated, thanks

I teach art in my daughter's Montessori classroom with age ranges between 5 and 11. It's a pretty casual thing I get a small tuition credit and am not formally employed by the school. I have a bfa and a decade of caring for art collections in museums, so I'm not lacking in art knowledge and experience but I'm lacking in early education knowledge and specifically Montessori education. Anyways I was wondering if anyone had any resources or tips for working with mixed ages. Specifically I am struggling with the younger kids finishing in five minutes and the older kids needing more time at the en ..read more

I recently found out some other teachers don’t use slip at all, they just score and add water. That sounds a lot easier to prep! What about you?

Just over two weeks ago I interviewed for an elementary position then got a phone call to call them back. My references weren't answering the phone so I gave them a new list and also emails to contact. I've called back about three times to see what's going on. The two HR representatives forwarded all of this information to the woman who is supposed to be doing the check but haven't heard back from her and none of my references have been contacted in either manner now in two weeks. So how do I react to this? Is it waste of time to keep counting on or what?

Hello! I need help because I don’t understand the requirements.
I’m working to get my teaching certification at the moment (retaking the Praxis for the second time) but I’ve just realized that my state (Maryland) requires me to do a preparation program that will take 1-2 years to complete. I have an Arts degree already, so is it smarter to just go get my masters in Art Education since it’s also a 2 year program? Or would I still have to get a certification after the Masters? Or is the preparation program a better focus than the Masters?
I’ve been flipping through requirements pages for hours ..read more
