This practical resource will help art teachers feel more confident organizing their studio and setting up systems to help students \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e educators be more successful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBook Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20+ downloadable student handouts, forms, and checklists.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 general routines to maximize instructional time and support student learning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuidance for improving classroom visuals and art demonstrations, developing an inclusive studio classroom, running a student art show, and closing down the art studio at the end of the year.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvice for planning the crucial first 6 weeks of the school year to minimize disruptive behaviors later in the year.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResources and tips for Art-on-a-Cart teachers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Samantha Nolte-Yupari","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43395949363302,"sku":"9780807784150","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/4051\/5174\/files\/9780807784150.jpg?v=1773333490"},{"product_id":"decluttering-mathematics_9780807784471","title":"Decluttering Mathematics","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat mathematics truly matters for student success in middle and high school?
