We live in an age rife with evaluations. Everyone is busy evaluating everyone. Teachers evaluate<br>students; administrators evaluate teachers; the public evaluates administrators. Testing agencies<br>are having a field day creating instruments for evaluating everyone and everything. The circle<br>feeds on itself. In my 45 years of teaching experience, my most treasured evaluation came from a<br>six-year-old boy who came to class one evening with his mother. During the class period, he sat<br>quietly next to his mother working with pencil and paper on something placed upon his desk. At<br>the end of the class, he came to the front of the room and presented me with a picture of myself<br>standing in front of the classroom waving my hands in the air. Below the picture he had written,<br>“You are a good teacher and funny.” They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I like to think<br>the little boy captured the spirit of my teaching. The following article is a venture into the spirit<br>of teaching. Hopefully, it can assist thoughtful teachers in developing their own classroom<br>artistry.
