Classroom management is one of the hardest elements of being an art teacher. If you don’t have a plan, philosophy or strategy then art-making takes a back seat.

I believe it’s all about creating an environment in which your students look forward to coming to your class and equally important, creating an environment in which YOU want to come to class.

Here are my 6 factors to consider when making your classroom management plan.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

Why the environment in the art room is so important to consider

How I used my own energy as a basis for my art room environment

Why inspiring lessons are so valuable

Why you don’t need to overthink the structure of your lessons

How I set the expectations in my art room

How your ego can work against you and take away perspective

Why having trust with children is so important (and how to maintain it)
