Are your students coming to class attentive, respectful and ready to learn? Or do you spend most of your time battling challenging students?

No one wants to admit that there are days - maybe weeks - when the students wear you down so badly that you sink to a low point of frustration.

I know I've been there. And believe me, there's no worse feeling than knowing you let down the students and yourself.

Today's guest, Team Sparkle's own Amy Clay shares 4 powerful management strategies that will help you get your class back on track. Her years of being a sub empowered her to tackle classroom management head on. She shares her passion for being an art sub and ways you can ensure that any substitute teacher who walks into your art room is welcomed and ready to create art with your students.
