Shine the Light: Becoming a Thoughtful and Brave Leader
Part of 2026 NAEA National Convention
Thursday 5 March 2026·10:30 pm
Leadership requires asking bold questions, processing the responses, and tackling tough tasks. Often, art educators are so occupied with immediate tasks that research and experimentation take a back seat. This session explores how six art educators are becoming more thoughtful and brave leaders by prioritizing reflection, digging into data, surfacing “invisible” work, and advocating for sustainable practices. What might you discover if you shine some light on a previously unexplored area and grapple with what emerges?
