    Let's Go - Starting the year in a TAB classroom with Jean Barnett

    Hello, and welcome to the Blocks Paper Scissors Podcast #30.

    Today we have a special guest with us. Jean Barnett is an amazing High School TAB teacher in Central Texas.  She has been teaching for 17 years, at the same school, with more than 12 of those years as a TAB teacher.  She currently is teaching Art 1, Art 3, and runs her school’s ceramics program.  When Jean is not teaching her students how to think and behave like artists, she is teaching other art teachers all about TAB as the secondary cohort leader at the TAB Institute."

    Here is the link to the article Clyde mentioned.
