Episode 241: Fresh Starts & Fine Arts – Time to Reflect, Remix, & Renew
Laura and Matt GrundlerLaura and Matt Grundler
What does it mean to move into a new year with intention—especially after a year that tested the resilience of art educators everywhere? To kick off 2026, we take a different approach to reflection. After a year filled with challenges, growth, and hard-earned perspective, a simple recap didn’t feel sufficient. For our New Year episode, Davis Publications Marketing Director, Toni Henneman, steps in as guest host to guide a thoughtful, forward-looking conversation. Listen in and reflect on goals that shaped the year, habits that sustained both creative and teaching practices, and moments that reaffirmed the pride in being art educators. This episode offers an honest and encouraging discussion about professional identity, creative resilience, and intentional goal setting for the year ahead. Tune in to celebrate the new year with reflection, inspiration, and a renewed sense of purpose with the Creativity Department!
