TAB Storytellers

S3E:7 Meet Becky Broyles


Listen Later

In this episode of TAB Storytellers, join Abi and Jen as they interview high school art teacher and WAEA co-president Becky Broyles as she describes how she adapted the TAB (Teaching for Artistic Behavior) approach in an alternative school setting, structuring her classroom as a “design studio” divided into departments (fashion, photography, digital art, and more). Becky emphasizes student choice, self-paced learning, and peer-to-peer feedback, sharing how technology tools like Padlet, Google Classroom, and Canva support her learners. Becky also highlights the importance of building supportive educator communities—both online and in person—to sustain and grow TAB practices.
