We ring in the new year with Tim Bogatz and Amanda Heyn as they open the January mailbag and answer questions from art teachers across the country. This month: classroom music (and whether you need it at all), how to advocate for high-quality art supplies with administrators, choosing the "right" grade level to teach, why January is so hard after break, and early finisher ideas for high school that aren't just busywork. They also talk about the Art Ed NOW Conference coming at the end of the month and other Art of Ed Community events that are coming soon!
