Greetings Arts Education Friends!
Here is the Wisconsin DPI Fine Arts and Creativity Education Newsletter link for the current and past issues. Please distribute this resource to your colleagues. Your ideas for future newsletters are needed. This issue has a summary of the feedback gathered about the newsletter. Thank you for sharing your ideas on how we may be able to shape this resource for the field. I know many of you are still working with SLOs. If you haven’t already submitted an SLO or shared as a “Critical Friend,” please check this site to learn more. We have a few people who shared so far. Remember the opportunity to share your SLO and as a Critical Friend is anonymous. This is a nice site which helps you get feedback from your colleagues about your SLO. You may also contact me directly to share your SLO ideas. Here is the information about Student Learning Objectives – Arts Sharing Online –To participate:

Additional learning opportunities for educators are available within the WI DPI Fine Arts Professional Development website. Also check the site subpage, Professional Learning Community, which has multiple arts education topics to investigate individually or within a group. If your district is seeking professional development options for arts educators, please share with them the face to face sessions or online networking available through the WI DPI. I am coordinating my winter and spring schedule now for visits and sessions. I have facilitated sessions for disciplinary literacy in the arts, arts assessment, WI DPI arts resource reviews, and student learning objectives writing workshops. Dates fill up fast, so please contact me with your questions and ideas for a visit and arts education sessions for 2016-17. Have a wonderful fall season and, dare I say it, winter season. I have already started wearing my sweaters. I do not do well in cold weather, but it warms my heart knowing my arts education friends are doing fantastic things to support our children in the arts. Take care. -Julie Julie A.

Last week was an incredible week as close to 400 Art Educators from the state and the country gathered to celebrate, inspire and dream of ways to make our profession great. It was Fall conference time in La Crosse, WI. It was a truly special event with Cassie Stephens' touching and hilarious Keynote address, Nic Hahn's fabulous presentation, the first ever 5K Run and much more. If you missed this one, you missed so much. The best thing about the conference was the positive vibe that was truly BOLD and BRIGHT! You can access the handouts and presentations from the conference here. Watch this post for pictures and more as they become available.
![]() Congratulations to Dave Pawl this month's very worthy Art Teacher of the Month recipient. Dave was nominated by Jana Strobel, Art & Photography Educator at Watertown High School. Here are just a "few" of the things that make Dave a well qualified recipient. Dave Pawl has been educating art students for over a decade at Watertown High School. He has been a leader in his field through his writing of curriculum, teaching and writing AP Studio Art and AP Art History. He teaches his students with wisdom and humor. He just wrote Wisconsin’s first DPI Crosswalk for AP Art History (credited in art and history). He leads through example. His openness and welcoming smile are always followed by relatable humor and humility. Dave stands out from his peers because he is always level headed and thoughtful. He strives to continue his education and stay current on issues facing art educators as well as staying current with his students. Dave works hard to connect the community and the students. He is President of the Watertown Arts Council and is department leader. He has excelled in promoting positive student relations, teaching and increasing student achievement, community involvement, and/or inspired others through many of the following things he's facilitated:
Students commented on the following when asked about Mr. Pawl... He works every day to help us in all aspects of art and really has made an impact on me both as an artist and student. He always give 110% into his teaching – Sarah Bradow He pushes us to work to our full potential and never gives up on us – Rebecca Vandersommen Mr. Pawl is always encouraging and helpful. He always has something constructive to lay in order to help me improve my art. He has the greatest sense of humor that makes coming to his class the best part of my day. He is always inviting and kind and he has genuine interest in all of his students. Not only has he helped me in the classroom, but he has helped me with issues in my personal life. I know I can trust him and confide in him if I need to. – Emma Sherman CONGRATULATIONS TO DAVE PAWL ON THIS WELL DESERVED HONOR! Greetings Arts Education Friends!
