For so long I was the only art teacher in a school district. Now I am
teaching in a district where we have five art teachers at the high
school. This is a brand new building with four lovely rooms but we now
have to have one float, usually the new kid on the block. We do meet
weekly to discuss the curriculum, things that worked for us and things
that didn't. We teach the same information, elements and principles,
but we each decide what type of project we do. We have shared so many
ideas with each other. We have one teacher who has been teaching for 40
years. She is a jewel of treasure with experience but very seldom does
anything new.. She was the only teacher for so long, now that Fine
Arts is required in Texas for graduation, art teachers have moved in.

As far as discipline and classroom expectations, we stay inline on that
one. You will always have the personality problems,, students wishing
they had the "cool" teacher, I am the semicolon. We each are given at
least one advance class to teach and we rotate from year to year those
advanced classes. The problem I am having the the 40 year experience
teacher, she doesn't see technology as being important, I DO.
