Peggy Larson stressed several things during her presentation.  The importance of keeping your options open so that your available to take the job offered to you.  She also pointed out that art teachers teach more than just art.  Teachers also teach math, organizational skills, social skills and the list goes on.  She feels that it is important for teachers to address in particular the social skills of a student before a teacher can begin to teach content to the student.  I agree that as teachers we will be teaching much more than content and many of the skills and attitudes we will be teaching will be even more important than the content we teach.
