Initial thoughts...

 All throughout my teaching career (thus far) I have wondered if there were other ways of teaching and reaching students. In fact, I originally enrolled at St. Mary’s in the Montessori program because I felt that Montessori practices were more aligned with my teaching style. I eventually decided to pursue the single subject credential instead so that I could teach older students and concentrate solely on art education. There is still a part of me, however, that resists some of the more traditional public school methods and would like to find some way to bring a different approach to my teaching practice.
