Self-study is a methodology for self-inquiry used by practitioner–researchers across many disciplines. It is guided by questions focused on professional practice issues with the aims of self-awareness, professional growth, and professional goal setting.
Within a self-study, a visual journal can document the processes of professional inquiry and serve as a rich source for arts-based data that can be interpreted for themes, insights, and new questions about professional practice.
This webinar is designed for visual arts practitioners (art teachers, graduate students, university faculty, independent artists, activists, arts administrators, and/or museum educators) at any level of practice who are interested in reflective practice, professional development, self-study as a research methodology, and/or using arts-based methods within their research.
This webcast will be presented via Zoom. You’ll need to sign up for a free Zoom account to access the live event.

We are counting down the days until the 2022 NAEA National Convention. Also, we know that these are unique times and there are lots of questions. The answer to one of the major questions is “Yes!” NAEA is going to New York City and educators are registering for the In Person, Virtual, and Hybrid options. January 27 is the deadline for early registration discounts. So, now is the time to register.
Mario R. Rossero, NAEA Executive Director, would like to share the following video message to provide insight on the ways educators can engage in this event (no matter where they may be), as well as share the safety precautions that will be in place onsite in New York City.

Thank you to everyone who joined the Zoom event with John Lithgow and Austin Beutner to launch CAEA’s effort to put the Arts and Music in Schools measure on the ballot this year! For those who couldn’t attend, you can watch the event at the link further below.
This measure will transform Arts and Music education in California by providing nearly $1 billion a year in dedicated funding for public schools to use for arts and music education. This is the funding we’ve been fighting for to provide more arts and music teachers, training, and supplies to ensure that our students receive this critical piece of their development and education.
But to put this important measure on the ballot, we need help from every arts and music teacher in the state to help collect the nearly 700,000 signatures from registered voters!
Our first goal: collect as many signatures from your colleagues as possible by February 11, 2022. Petition packets are in the mail and heading your way with petitions, explanatory materials and postage-paid envelopes to return as many signatures as you can.
Our next goal: organize your school community to collect signatures from parents and other arts education supporters. We’ll have more information on that in the days ahead.
Please join us in this important effort!
Here’s how you can help now:
1. Collect 10 signatures or more from your school colleagues and friends by February 11, 2022 to be entered to win a $1,000 gift certificate for new classroom supplies from an arts or music store of your choice. For every 10 signatures you collect, your name will be entered to win. For example, if you collect 30 signatures, you will be entered 3 times and triple your chances of winning!!!
2. Share your story and/or volunteer to be a media spokesperson. We are looking for support in gathering stories - and your voices - so that we can share the impact that arts and music education can have with the media and the public. Please complete a quick 5-minute survey at Story.VoteArtsAndMinds.org to indicate whether you might be willing to support our media effort and/or share a story about your experience. The campaign team will then reach out directly.

Become a Social Justice Sewing Academy Workshop Facilitator |
|
Looking for ways to bridge artistic expression and social justice? Interested in having your students create a quilt block that represents their critique of their local and larger communities? The Social Justice Sewing Academy (SJSA) has the perfect opportunity for you !
On February 1st, SJSA is launching a free self-paced online course to train educators to become workshop facilitators. Educators will engage in self-reflection activities as well as dive into topics including intersectionality, microaggressions, and more. Using this framework, educators will have the ability to guide students through the creation of quilt blocks that highlight social justice issues that are significant to them. You will have the option to become a certified SJSA facilitator to have your student's quilt blocks become part of a community quilt that tours in museum exhibits and quilt shows around the country. You can also choose to engage your students in these workshops just for the sake of critical self-expression.
Sign up today and get a free copy of Stitching Stolen Lives to serve as a visual guide to the workshops you will facilitate!

Appropriation vs. Appreciation (Ep. 222)
In today’s episode, Candido welcomes Dr. Lori Santos to discuss the difference between appreciation and appropriation, and why that knowledge is so important. Listen as the conversation covers understanding culture, where teachers can find resources and ideas to support their work, and how we can avoid perpetuating stereotypes in the lessons we teach.

The Student Voices Campaign (SVC) puts students in the driver's seat of art and activism, and is an opportunity for students to use their art to create change in their schools and communities. The campaign also provides a CCSS aligned unit for teachers to guide students in the process of civic engagement.
The Student Voices Campaign is an annual statewide creative arts challenge for students grades 7-12. Student artists have a chance to win cash, prizes and have their work showcased at a statewide event. This year, the Student Voices Campaign asks students from any arts disciplines: How do the arts support mental health and create cultural understanding?
Students who participate in the Student Voices Campaign will complete a project that includes Common Core English Language Arts Anchor Standards, California Arts Standards, and California History-Social Science Content Standards.
