Welcome to the TAEA Supervision and Administration Division Cohort. I am very excited to be the chair for our division. Laura Grundler, our division chair-elect, and I are working to provide insightful information through our organization. We will continue the excellent District of Distinction Program that began in 2018-2019. This program offers Texas school districts, no matter the size, the opportunity to receive recognition for excellence in visual art education. More information about this program can be found here.

If you have questions, you can contact me at .

Texas Art Education Outreach

TAEO promotes and offers successful quality art education support to Texas art educators through mentoring and professional development presentations.

• What can you do to help the members you serve?
• Do you know a good presenter?
• Do you know someone who would be a great mentor?
• Can you send information from people who reach out to you?
• Can you reach out to other art educators?

TAEO can help with presenters and mentors.

Let's help each other to prepare, support, and encourage Texas art educators.
