Northern Art Teacher
Colleen Rose (@ColleenKR) is a visual arts teacher living in North Western Ontario. Ever since her first post on January 21, 2012 she has been keeping a great record of posts and helpful information. She has a clear mind and a gentle heart and it is not difficult to see when you read her thoughtful posts. Her artwork is also as thoughtful as the empathy she feels towards her students.
She makes a good point in her first post of "fuddy-duddy" teachers that recycle the same assignments year after year all while expecting their students to take a chance and make changes in their lives. Resources and blogs as well as videos have altered and helped her classroom as well as other educators. Because the scenery and way of life in Ontario is different than it is here some stories are more than interesting to read and while some things differ as good memories she keeps the universal qualities of a good teacher close to her. It is apparent to see in how representative her posts seem of her personality and authenticity of character.
Although her name was something that needed to be searched for to be found as well as her Instagram (ColleenKR) and kind of her Twitter, her blogsite was a finalist in 2015: https://northernartteacher.wordpress.com. Or you can follow her classroom's activities at: http://mrsroseart.blogspot.ca |
