This year marks the beginning of my 13th year of teaching and third school. I am so humbled to have been chosen as the Rodger Quist Middle School art teacher. Our school is so new that we just officially broke ground last week. While RQMS is being built we are currently housed out of Riverdale Ridge High School across the streetl. TAB and student choice is new to the majority of students at RQMS but many of them have already started to RISE and ROAR.
We have completed our drawing bootcamp and some amazing work has come out of it. I am so impressed by these students.

Mr. Kelly BeachAs an art teacher, it is my goal that every student will leave my classroom with transferable skills that will allow them to be successful in whatever career path they choose. It is my mission to teach students to make careful observations of the world around them, find problems that need to be solved, envision a solution, and engage and persist through the problem solving process while constantly reflecting on their work and progress. Students are enabled to embrace their strengths and interests while sharing their own skills and ideas with their classmates. Through a Teaching for Artistic Behavior process, students embrace leadership positions and become teachers themselves. I feel that it is my job to encourage students to take risks, step outside of their comfort zone, explore new possibilities, and express their individual view of the world through the art making process.
