RESPECT is about raising awareness of issues related to bullying, students with disabilities, self respect and empowerment. Students used American Sign Language (ASL) to communicate that message. RESPECT became transformative, insightful, and understanding among students, teachers, and staff.
Thank you to an Arts in Education Grant by the North Carolina Arts Commission in support of my one month residency; art teacher, Magen Pike and her students; and Benson Middle School in Benson, North Carolina.
