For Seasoned Teaching Artists: Reflection Questions and Inspiration for the Semester Ahead

As we dive into this semester, these questions can offer opportunities to consider, reflect, and grow. 

I want to thank my colleagues Leah Cox (Associate Dean at ADF and Associate Professor at Bard College), Debra Knapp(Director of Dance at New Mexico State University), and Elizebeth Randall (professor at Saint Mary's College of CA and teacher at Shawl-Anderson Dance Center) for contributing ideas for this post. These three artists serve as great inspiration to me as thoughtful, vibrant teaching artists. As Elizebeth posed, "Do you have a practice of self-reflective writing for yourself and/or your students? If so, how does this inform and transform your/their experiences in class?"

We encourage you to use these questions - a few or all of them - in a way that works for you. This might take the form of weekly journaling, silent reflection while commuting home one day a week, discussions in staff meetings, or participation here on the blog in a dialogue. 

This week's question is:

How are you employing creative problem solving?
