I used to think virtual training was torture

Now I think it is powerful

Now I will move thinking routines to the center of my practice

Look/Listen for more feedback from my kids.

I used to think literacy was reading and writing. Now I think that speaking/ discussion is also part of literacy and a way to build students literacy. Now I will build in more time for students to discuss artwork- both selections as well as their own.

I used to think there was ownership in art.  I still do, but I'm feeling more open to how it should be open to theft.

I used to think I used some literacy in my classroom.

Now I think I use a lot of literacy in my classroom.

Now I will refine and grow what I already do in meaningful ways.

I will be reflecting more on the overall experience of today and chatting with my art colleagues

I use see/think/wonder regularly, this has reminded me to stretch to incorporate different thinking routines into my lessons

I use to think literacy in art was read a book and make art as a reflection. Or write a reflection of their artwork. Now I think discussions are literacy. Using vocabulary, listening to new vocabulary. We will talk all about the art they see.

I use to think that writing and speaking was the most important part of literacy, and now I think there is value in exploring the many nuances of the language, narrative and storytelling,  so, now I will slow things down  even more and take time to explore things like the nuances of words and embed literacy within visual art content without thinking its extra, when in fact it's very much naturally part of it already.

I used to think that using poetry in art was quite daunting. But now I see how it could be quite fun especially in using blackout poetry as a way to enlarge our students vocabulary and expressive skills.

I used to think literacy was better suited in the English classes. Now I think that literacy can enhance every art lesson taught. Now I will incorporate reflection, vocabulary and descriptive words to my critiques.

I used to think it was difficult as an art teacher to teach literacy to the youngest learners in an elementary environment, but now I think that even just bringing in some thinking routines is also helpful for them, and now I will try to bring more of that into my classroom.

I used to think the literacy PD requirement was irrelevant to our area. However, I now realize that I had been incorporating many of the strategies presented today without even knowing they were enhancing literacy. Moving forward, I'll be more intentional with these strategies, providing students with the time and space to explore through literacy.

I used to think literacy in arts happened only in the reflections at end of units. Now I think literacy literacy should be integrated throughout the unit. Now I will make time for students to also express their ideas and thoughts verbally

I used to think: when will Arlington embrace PZ Thinking Routines within departments?

Now I think Arts has used our Literacy PD beautifully by incorporating Artful Thinking routines as literacy tools

Now I will reach out to the other Arts specialists in my building to see if we can embrace common routines to reduce students’ cognitive load so the can dig deeper re vocab, expressive and written language

I used to think it would be more challenging to include literacy in music.

Now I think it is much more possible and accessible to use the literacy strategies learned today and it can increase the depth of music lessons.

Now I will provide additional opportunities for students to experience and demonstrate comprehension on a deeper level.

I used to think literacy was somewhat a part of my classroom

Now I think I have the potential to make a greater impact.

Now I will incorporate ideas within play production.

I used to think that art and reading were separate things, but now I see that combining them helps students understand better and express their ideas in creative ways.

I use to think that I was not qualified to incorporate literacy into my units being a non English speaker and art major.

Now I think that I’ve been doing it all along through story telling.

Now, having seen many ways of “interpreting” literacy I’m excited to highlight that aspect in my units. I’m lucky to have a diverse department where I can see many ways of doing this.

I used to think literacy meant mainly reading, speaking, and formal writing. Now I think that literacy also includes more informal writing like texting, posting, commenting etc. Now I will work on giving students opportunities to post and comment on artworks (their own and others’)
