In my journey of getting my Colorado teaching licensure in K-12 Arts, I was able to occasionally approach classwork as a design project.
Instead of a list of socioeconomic stats I was tasked with obtaining on the town of Evans, I created an infographic to present census information and distilled my data all the way down to my individual classroom.
Not only did this approach to my school work fulfill my educational requirements, I was able to create tools for my teachers and fellow students.
