ERRR #085. Jeff Robin on Teaching Like an Artist
This episode we're speaking with Jeff Robin. Jeff is a teacher of 27 years and is a founding faculty member of High Tech High in San Diego and remained an active collaborative teacher at High Tech High until 2017.
In this episode, we discuss Jeff’s fantastic book, Teach Like an Artist, in which he outlines a vast collection of the art projects that he coordinated at High Tech High, the wonderful work of his students, and what he learnt about how to be an art teacher, and a teacher more broadly, through this rich experience.
I was initially put in touch with Jeff following my discussion with Gwyn Ap Harri of XP school, back in episode 70, as Gwyn and Jeff are great friends and similarly driven about creating fantastic learning experiences for students. Jeff sent me his book and I was blown away by the quality of the work that his students had done, and the passion and impact of Jeff’s teaching.
This is a wide ranging discussion touching on everything from effective instruction, models and chunking of tasks, what it takes to run effective projects, field trips and excursions, the role of high art in schools, teacher collaboration, and much more.
I hope you enjoy this discussion with Jeff as much as I did
