How do I manage behavior in the art room?
This is a tough question! Especially in the art room, if you don’t have solid classroom management, you can’t get much done. Middle school students can be difficult to manage. I have found great strategies in the book…
Ultimate Classroom Control Handbook
by Dave Foley
by Dave FoleyIt is set up to truly be a handbook, with every possible student misbehavior and what to do about it. Middle schoolers are special, and this author knows exactly how to appeal to their need for peer approval and independence.
Behavior Management Topics Include:
- Making seat assignments
- Using peer pressure to improve behavior
- Dealing with disruption
- Working with parents
- and SOOO much more!
Seriously, for less than $10, this book is a must for every middle school teacher! It is an older book, the last I checked, there aren’t a whole lot of new copies still out in circulation. Get it by clicking on the image below:
I would love to hear from anyone who has bought the book and is using it in their classroom!
