In this episode we talk with Dr. Wendy Milne, an elementary art educator and the 2004 recipient of the outstanding Elementary Art Educator Award from the Pennsylvania Art Education Association. The focus of our conversation is Dr. Milne’s use of reflective artmaking as a mode of professional learning and her school district’s use of differentiated projects to fulfill Pennsylvania’s mandate for teacher evaluation. In recent years, the Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate has been advocating for the preparation of scholarly practitioners. The ways in which Dr. Milne has built upon and extending the work of her dissertation is an excellent example of the power of practitioner inquiry.
Dr. Milne’s award winning dissertation serves as the basis for her book, Professional Learning through Reflective Artmaking: A Pedagogical Portfolio, available on Amazon. Professional Learning Through Reflective Artmaking: A Pedagogical Portfolio
