OATK12 was founded as a service project by Dr. Trina Harlow to assist art educators in navigating COVID-19 pandemic teaching. Dr. Harlow served as the group's first director. Eventually, Bob Reeker, who was the first team leader, became co-director. Together, Bob and Trina led the group, dedicating much time on a daily basis to administrate the group, its activities and events, and its focus.  The group also had three other team leaders who remained team leaders the entire two-year duration of the social media group - Holly Bess Kincaid, Kate Miller, and Dr. Sarah Ackermann.  The group lost Randy Robart, another dedicated original team leader, to cancer during the first year of the group's existence.  While a few team leaders came onto the leadership team and then left to handle professional or personal responsibilities during this challenging global time period, Christine Wellman, Danny Bryant, Rob Garrett, John Lentine, Jane Montero, Sasha Odom, and Ruth Pittman also served as team leaders as the group archived in June of 2022.  We are thankful for this dedicated group of team leaders who served the entire profession of art education during pandemic teaching.
