Increasingly, pressing academic and administrative issues demand attention both in and out of the classroom, impacting community colleges and especially their art programs. Diminishing enrollments, lack of student preparedness, constant assessment, retention difficulties, and more all affect teaching and learning for our students. These issues challenge how we teach and how we prepare students for transfer and for their careers as artists and art historians. What new ideas, methods, approaches, can we bring to our classes and programs? What changes do we need to implement? How can we attract new students to make our studio and art history classes more relevant? What successful changes have you put into effect? This session invites "best practices," and a range of new ideas to help promote successful change in our classes and to revitalize an interest in the arts on our campuses.
