How to Start an Art Rotation & Seek Funding: AME 067

Are you a classroom teacher who is required to teach art but not sure where to start? Or perhaps you want to collaborate with your grade level peers and start an art rotation? Lynda Gordon, a third grade teacher from Lompoc, California can relate. When her school’s art teacher left, Lynda took on the role of finding the replacement.
