We’re excited to kick off a new series highlighting the many vibrant NAEA Interest Groups—an essential part of our creative community! These groups give art educators powerful opportunities to connect, collaborate, and inspire one another. Today, we’re highlighting the Art In Special Education (ASE) Interest Group, which was established in 2001. Visit artinspecialed.com or follow @artinspecialed to learn more! Purpose: The purpose shall be to define and establish the role of Art in Special Education as a special Interest Group of NAEA. NAEA Interest Groups offer members a key opportunity to connect with other members who share an interest in a specific issue or topic in art education. Interest Groups share ideas, bring areas of concern to NAEA’s attention, and hold events at the NAEA National Convention. Topics range from design to public policy to disability studies. Visit the NAEA website for more information for each Interest Group: arteducators.org/community/interest-groups #NAEA #ArtTeachers #ArtsEd #ArtsEducation (fb)
