Are you looking for new ways to manage your elementary art classroom? Art you a first-year teacher? Ever wonder how to get out the supplies faster? Do you feel like you just need a little help? Well, guess what? You have a room full of students who would love to help you. Let me show you some of my tried and true methods of classroom management that have worked for me. We will cover everything from how to pass out paper to how to collect watercolor trays. I will also cover behavior issues that may be derailing your classroom. Bring your best solution ideas for an open discussion at the end of the workshop on what works for you; remember, "sharing is caring"!
