Marita Fitzpatrick

Art Educator, Philadelphia School District, Philadelphia, PA

Member Portrait: Get to Know Our Vibrant Community!

Why NAEA matters to Marita: I value the professional development I receive from NAEA. Information learned in monthly webinars, NAEA publications, and the website have been extraordinarily helpful. The convention last March was fantastic! My practice has improved thanks to NAEA.
Marita’s tip for art education success: Give students more autonomy by letting them help and do things for themselves. They get so much more from class when they do. They take ownership of the studio space and their place as learners in it.
