WESTpectations Educational Consulting

I tend to post everything to my regular page and often don’t have time to post here but I do want to thank the Kansas Art Education Association for having me as their keynote speaker this past weekend at their fabulous fall conference!! It was my absolute honor to be a part of this event and to meet so many fantastic and passionate art educators!!

I sadly don’t post on this page as much as I should but I’ve been really blessed to work a few fun consulting jobs over the past few months!!
Huge shout out to APS and Harper Archer Elementary for inviting me in to virtually work with your 1st graders! I loved creating this arts integrated science and literacy unit!

And then I was blessed to spend last week in Fulton County with the fabulous AP students at Milton HS!!


Consulting, mentoring, working with teachers and students is my passion so holler if you need anything!!

Harper Archer Elementary School - 1st Grade YAM Celebration Debi West had the pleasure of working with the 1st graders at Harper Archer Elementary School during a week in March 2021 to celebrate Youth Art Month and teach students to be artists, scientists and poets. Students looked at the art of Georgia O'Keeffe, zoomed in on flowers to learn the vocabulary....

It was another fabulous day working with some amazing teachers!! Today I spent “heART day” with 55 art teachers in Berkeley County SC!!

I’m already having an amazing time at Harper Archer Elementary School in Atlanta working with these awesome kinders!! I just love these week long artist residencies!!

I started this new year off perfectly by spending the day with the incredible art teachers in Glynn County!! I loved working with you and can’t wait to see how you implement these lessons!

It’s been a busy summer and a super busy week where I was blessed to work with teachers in Columbia County on Monday and Tuesday and the fabulous art teachers in Cobb County on Thursday (and I presented at The Art of Education University’s online conference yesterday)
I LOVE sharing successful PBL teaching strategies with educators and reminding art teachers why their room is the most important room in the school!

Thank you to the Arkansas State Department of Education for having me work with your visual art teachers today! What an amazing group! Big shout outs to Lana Hallmark and Sue Anne McCoy!
