"Teaching for Artistic Behavior" is an emergent concept of teaching practiced successfully in a variety of classrooms for over 25 years. Research and teaching about authentic learning through choice in the visual arts has taken place in a variety of settings including public elementary school classrooms and the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston. The concept of choice-based teaching in art has been disseminated in courses at Massachusetts College of Art, the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, and Stonehill College in Easton, Massachusetts, as well as local, regional, and national art education conferences.

The content for this spotlight was created with the support of the The Northeast & Islands Regional Educational Laboratory at Brown University and the Massachusetts College of Art. Content was synthesized and articulated through a course that brought together students and current practitioners with up to 25 years of success in using the teaching for artistic behavior concept.
