Kamehameha Kapālama Elementary Art Program:
PAPA 3 TAB CLASSROOM
STUDENT-CENTERED. AUTHENTIC PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENTS.
The TAB (Teaching for Artistic Behavior) philosophy proposes that, “In a TAB studio: Students are regarded as artists. Students choose what to work on. Classes begin with a short demonstration or discussion to inspire new ideas. Teaching for artistic behaviors with choices creates a nurturing community of artists. Developmentally appropriate work and differentiation occur regularly. Students determine the purposes for their work. Students learn to reflect on their work.” (https://teachingforartisticbehavior.org/what-is-tab.html)
