<span style="font-family: Times, fantasy;"> **C.**  <span style="font-family: Times, fantasy;"> __**Questions**__

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> **Please take a few moments to respond to the following questions. Your answers will greatly assist in determining how to improve the continuing professional education plan.**

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">What were the strengths of this course/activity? <span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">**Amazing experience! Gave participants a chance to work with fellow art teachers that share similar experiences to work together and build relationships that will last beyond the project. Offered opportunities for personal growth and technological and professional growth in the classroom.**

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">What were the weaknesses? <span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">**It was hard for some of us to do work outside of the IU days and school day. But for the amount of credits we are working to earn, it is worth it.**

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Could this course/activity have been more helpful to you? Please specify. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">**No way. It was wonderful!**

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Should this course/activity be offered again? <span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">**Absolutely.**

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> What changes would you recommend? <span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">**No changes.**

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">If this course/activity is offered again, should the same instructor teach it? <span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">**Absolutely.**

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Did the course/activity announcement/description statement have enough information for you to make a sound enrollment decision? <span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">**Yes. However, I was unaware of the webinars, which I regrettably couldn't attend because of family related issues. But I was able to watch the recordings, so I still got credit for attending.**

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> What (if any) changes would you suggest for the course/activity announcement/description? <span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">**Just advertise meetings outside of the IU days, like the webinars.**

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">What other course/activity subject matter would interest you? <span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">**Having a second year of Arts Educator!**

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Can you recommend future instructors? <span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">**No. I don't know anyone that could have done the job of this team of people!** <span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">**They were awesome!**

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Additional Comments: <span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">**I hope to be included if Arts Educator is granted another year!** <span style="font-family: Times, fantasy;"> <span style="font-family: Times, fantasy;"> <span style="font-family: Times, fantasy;">

<span style="font-family: Times, fantasy;">**Please take a few moments to respond to the following questions. Your answers will greatly assist in determining how to improve the continuing professional education plan.** ** <span style="font-family: Arial, fantasy;">How is this course relevant <span style="font-family: Times, fantasy;">to your teaching assignment? **  <span style="font-family: Times, fantasy;">I am an art teacher in a high poverty region. <span style="font-family: Times, fantasy;">The arts educator 2.0 program is a grant that assist's in the professional development and personal growth of art teachers in high poverty regions. It also introduced me to and trained me in new technologies that are now beneficial to my teaching practices. <span style="font-family: Arial, fantasy;">**Identify how you will implement the learning in your classroom.** <span style="font-family: Times, fantasy;"> <span style="font-family: Times, fantasy;">I am now able to implement what I haved learned from Arts Educator in so many ways. I now have new technologies to use and implement. I have a richer way to write my lesson plans and make them more standards-based. I also have a stronger desire to build more of a “community of the arts” in my school because of writing and implementing my PPDP. I will and have been using everything I have learned while participating in the program. It also just added some art excitement into my life over the last 7 months. I got to focus on what I love to do again and not just worry about what our districts push so much! <span style="font-family: Times, fantasy;">**Name __Aimee Keslar-Vacanti__ School District __Uniontown area School District__** <span style="font-family: Times, fantasy;"> <span style="font-family: Times, fantasy;">(Please Sign)
