Topics might include strategies for instruction and student learning; strategies for classroom organization and behavior management; assessment procedures related to art learning; incorporation of the National Visual Arts Standards into existing state and local curricula; alternative methods for teaching using technology; art instruction and higher-order thinking; issues related to teacher preparation; the incorporation of multiple-intelligences theories; conducting research in the art classroom; and art instruction in community contexts.

NAEA News, the official newsletter for NAEA members, publishes 4 digital issues per year. It reports to members on what is happening throughout the organization as well as in the field of art education—within every teaching level, geographic region, and interest group.

Columnists cover ideas, policies, and current events, and how they relate to the field of art education and teaching. Articles related to art education or NAEA member activities may also be submitted for consideration.

Translations was first introduced as an NAEA publication in 1991 to bridge research and practice, and to assist all visual arts educators in understanding the importance and applicability of research in the field of art education. In an effort to reenergize Translations and enhance its value as a member benefit, the Professional Learning through Research (PLR) Working Group of the NAEA Research Commission has assumed editorial responsibilities for this peer-reviewed publication.
