Art Inservice Program with Dr. Catherine Richmond-Cullen

This past Friday the GLSD Fine Art Department hosted our first Art In-service.  Tired of sitting through many, many in-service programs that do not pertain to our content area, Dr. Catherine Richmond-Cullen presented the 12 Brain/Mind Learning Principles focusing specifically on the arts.  Dr. Richmond-Cullen is from the Scranton area.  She brought her friend and colleague, Liz Parry-Fiast.  Both women are fantastic and work well together.  Cat is a dynamic speaker and can make any content come to life.  This is a rare gift.  I aspire to be just as entertaining and informative in my classroom.

We had approximately 50 participants from other schools attending-all art teachers and music teachers.  This was a perfect number for the type of program that Cat presents.  She and Liz really do an outstanding job of presenting information and modeling exactly what they teach.  Our day was filled with excellent information on the 12 Brain/Mind Learning Principles and the arts. 

We were inspired, informed, entertained and excited.
