What is your “teaching objective”- How did you come up with it?

When thinking about my teaching objectives, I looked back to my rough draft of my teaching philosophy. The ideas were there, I just needed to refine and define them more clearly. I looked to the book, "Getting Hired", and used some of the objectives in there as a sort of cheat or a way to kick off my list. Here goes:

Objective & Skills: Art Education K-12

· Development of student creativity through multiple types of medium and techniques
· Promote advocacy of the arts through student, community and family involvement
· Advance student knowledge of histories, cultures and personal artistry
· Individualized art: Studio centered class times to freely explore and create

It's hard to know what to put in and what to leave out, because there are so many ideas that you want to get to let people know. I feel that these 4 ideas express what I want to accomplish in my classroom without getting too involved or being too vague.
