Ep. 096 - Why Intro to Art is Your Most Important Class

Intro to Art is a class that a lot of teachers consider a throwaway--a class that remains an afterthought while attention is directed to advanced classes.

She and Tim get together to compare notes on teaching Intro and discuss their strategies to make the class run effectively.
