Study Away
During Summer 2012, art and elementary pre-service and in-service teachers traveled to Los Angeles, California to visit the classroom of Rafe Esquith, the 5th grade teacher and author of Teach Like Your Hair is On Fire. While in LA, the teachers also visited the Getty Museum, Getty Villa, The Autry National Center for Native American Art, and participated in the Native American story telling workshop by a well know Navajo story teller, Geri Keams.
