My name Is Jan Hatleberg. I am the art teacher at Meigs Academic Magnet Middle School in Nashville, Tennessee. This is my 13th year at Meigs. The classes I teach are 5th, 6th, and 7th grade visual arts rotation, along with a full year Advanced Art class for 8th grade.
My education in art consists of a BFA in Painting from Middle Tennessee State University, a MFA in Painting from Virginia Commonwealth University which is consistently the top ranked public art school in the nation (http://arts.vcu.edu/about/national-rankings/). I also have an art education certification from Middle Tennessee State University.
I constantly try to improve my teaching skills through professional development. I have attended NAEA conferences along with participating various National Consortium for Teaching about Asia workshops. In 2010 I received a Fellowship for a study tour throughout China. I have presented lessons for the Tennessee Holocaust Commission, NIVAE, and Metro Nashville Public Schools.
My husband and I have two adopted daughters (Sadie is from China while Brooktie is from Ethiopia). We also have a dog (Roscoe) along with two cats (Raleigh and Kacey). I still try to paint early in the morning, walk/bike/run, and garden.
