WOAH WOAH WOAH, I didn't mean to offend any of you. I've been a public school art teacher for ten years (and Joseph, I'm not one of the "younger people" you spoke so low of). I have to defend myself in saying that I am a nationally recognized art teacher for my efforts to improve the lives of children through the world of art. I have an opportunity to expand my horizons in art education, and while I was researching many different avenues of gaining insight, inspiration and education in photography I thought I'd also use this forum to see what's out there. And did I. I was a photography minor in art school over 20 years ago, and it's been some time since I've worked in this medium. I do appreciate all the constructive ideas you all gave. This is my first time using this forum, and what an experience it's been, in just a short while. I will take what I feel will allow me to grow as an art educator and leave what is toxic. Rosina, Ralph and John: Thank you very much for all your time, ideas and support.

I was recently hired as a high school art teacher. Two of the classes I'll be teaching are black and white traditional

darkroom photography, levels 1 and 2 (beginner and advanced) in the same class. My question is, does anyone have

any tips for me on the following:

1. Some basic steps of teaching photography (such as first, parts of the camera; technical info. Second,...)

2. Some ideas on how to teach beginner and advanced students in the same class

3. Some lesson plan ideas

4. Any resources that would be helpful for me.

This is a lot of information I'm seeking, I appreciate any input I can get. THANK YOU!!!!
