Etic= Outsider
What they see. A crazy art teacher whom is always busy within
the school getting stuff done. Students who what to be in the class. Products of
instruction with gallery hangings and art shows. Newsletters that explain student
successes.
I will need to interview outsiders such as coworkers, students
parents, administration, staff and the community to have a full understanding
of peoples thoughts about my classroom.
Questions to ask:
What do you see? Anything good? Anything that needs to be changed?
What can you tell me about the students? What are they doing?
Who are they?
What can you tell me about the teacher? What is she doing? Who
is she?
What is the art class doing?
What do you think the result is going to be?
Result of instruction?
Result of reaction?
Result of classroom environment?
Are you asking what the community outside of your art room are seeing as a result of your teaching? I think this is a good idea. Since you are at a high school you could increase the visibility of your program by a high level of exhibition both in your school and out. If your choose to follow this path I can put you into contact with a Columbia teacher who was very successful at that.
