“I love that I‘m part of a community of passionate, driven and innovative art educators,’ Kersh said. “Being able to collaborate with and get encouragement from each other makes me better at what I do.”

“I can network with many divergent–thinking people from all over Texas, yet we all converge around our passion for the visual arts. So basically, my TAEA colleagues push my thinking about art curriculum and instruction, which in turn benefits the art students of Aldine.”

Congratulations and thank you for leading!
