Today I would like to share two free resources online that will be useful for new teaching artists, especially those working with elementary age students.

From the Center for Childhood Creativity in the San Francisco Bay Area, this one page sheet succinctly articulates about creative based work and the big ideas of having our work be:

• Child Directed
• Risk Friendly
• Emotionally Attuned
• Active
• Time Flexible
• Exploratory

Find this resource here.

Second, I wanted to share a recent post on Edutopia. Classroom management is a tough topic to wrangle as a beginning teacher. The ideas shared here – and additional resources – provide clear starting points as you navigate managing a classroom full of moving, energetic young ones.
