This afternoon was the New Teacher Institute at the University of Massachusetts Boston. A few experienced arts educators met our new arts teachers. We shared lots of valuable information and had some great idea exchanges. I want to take this opportunity to send our new teachers this message:
Welcome new arts teachers!
It was great to see you all this afternoon at UMass. Hopefully you learned a few tricks that will help you face the challenges ahead. Boston Public Schools is a challenging school department but one that has a lot to offer. I'm sure that with a little creativity you'll be able to have a great time and learn a lot from your students. Keep in touch. Feel free to post to our blog or wiki. Don't feel that you are by yourselves, we are here to help and share ideas!

The day was absolutely gorgeous so we took some outdoor pictures around UMass. Enjoy the slideshow!
