Divisions

Elementary     Middle     Secondary     Higher Education     

Museum     Pre-service     Emeritus

Divisions are made up of job-alike groups of members as determined by the Executive Board and approved by the Leadership Assembly. OAEA currently has eight divisions representing the art education field:
  • Elementary - for art teachers of grades PK - 6
  • Middle - for art teachers of grades 5-8
  • Secondary - for art teachers grades 9-12
  • Higher Education - for college-level faculty, professors and adjunct, training art education undergraduate and graduate students
  • Museum - for art educators working at museums
  • Pre-service (formerly “student”) - for undergraduate or graduate students not yet provisionally licensed to teach art
  • ​Emeritus (formerly “Retired”) - for members who have retired from any of the above service as art educators
Division Chairs
Why OAEA?
"I got thrown into a grade level I was not happy or prepared to teach. I needed professional support! Truthfully it was an act of desperation!" 
                                                   -Tracy Mathys


​

Division Function

The primary function of the Divisions Committee is to be aware of and represent the unique needs and conditions within the Divisions in a statewide frame. Leaders of each Division represent the voice and perspective of members in that division. The Division Chairs review and evaluate the annual Divisional Awards; review and select Conference workshop proposals; and provide leadership for each division.
