Episode Synopsis

Join Abi and Jen in this inspiring episode as we dive deep with Chicago-based art educator Kitty Conde. Kitty shares her rich journey from building an art program from the ground up to championing TAB pedagogy in her public school. From organizing community-integrated Shark Tank-style student projects to mentoring over 40 student teachers, Kitty shares actionable insights and honest reflections on scaffolding choice, advocating for student voice, navigating standards, and embracing intergenerational learning. Her passion and systems-thinking approach remind us what it really means to teach artists, not just art.Resources & LinksTeaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB) – https://teachingforartisticbehavior.orgMighty Networks (TAB Community) – Accessible via the TAB website > "Join Our Community"Engaging Learners Through Artmaking by Katherine M.
