Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB) Professional Development Workshop for Art Educators

The Choice-Based Classroom

Reimagine Your Art Room with TAB

Empower your students to think like artists, not just create art, with the Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB) approach. Join the first TAB Professional Development Workshop in Connecticut for K–12 art educators—and make your classroom a truly choice-based classroom.

Teaching Art for the Future 

Foster student agency and creativity. 

Transform your art room into a vibrant, student-centered studio that mirrors real-world artistic practices. TAB empowers students to take ownership of their learning—exploring, ideating, and innovating along the way. 

Build lifelong skills. 

With TAB, students engage in artistic thinking, fostering critical skills such as problem-solving, creativity, and reflection. 

Create inclusive and innovative art programs. 

Integrate contemporary practices, such as Social-Emotional Learning (SEL); Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM); and culturally responsive teaching to develop art education that celebrates diversity and innovation.
