How Art Teachers Can Adapt to Change

In this episode, Tim sits down with elementary art teacher Khadesia Latimer (@thebusybrushes) to explore the biggest shifts she has seen in her 10 years in the classroom. From "learned helplessness" and declining problem-solving skills to the impact of AI and constant technology exposure, Khadesia shares both honest insights and practical strategies for helping students rebuild confidence, resilience, and independence. You'll also hear ideas for bringing back collaboration, using picture books in powerful ways (even beyond elementary!), and why giving students more choice can be a big part of deeper learning.
