45 mins | Teaching is an Art and a Science
| Amy
| What parts of what we do are a science? What parts are an art? Science is brain and art is heart We are the translators of science to families and artists to children It’s easy for people to discount the art component, but it is hard! How do we communicate with families the value of what we are offering?
