In my career as an arts educator and school administrator, I have met countless families whose children are excited to embark on a college education focused on filmmaking or acting.

Then there are those who prefer to keep a low-profile and don’t want to be called on for answers. It’s easy for educators to get caught up in managing the talkative learners and focusing on those who participate in discussions. Every learner, though, including those who are quiet, should feel empowered to share their ideas.
