Managing the Art Room

Managing the Art Room

As an art teacher, you know that management of the art room involves a unique blend of strategies and techniques to hold students accountable, manage materials and resources, design procedures to keep the art room running efficiently, and establish an enjoyable, creative learning environment. In this course, you will examine and apply current research in classroom management strategies to your art teaching practice. Reflecting on your current practice, you will expand your own learning and embark on new methods to promote learning in the classroom as you explore how social identities are formed and how they influence students’ interaction with content and others. At the completion of this course, you will emerge with a full classroom management action plan that you will be able to implement immediately into your current teaching practice.
