Tips for Teaching Art in a Title One School: AME 069 - a podcast by Patty Palmer: Art Teacher and expert in teaching art to kids.

Teaching art in a Title 1 school can be challenging. Often there is limited funding for art supplies, behavioral issues and lack of support. Although, depending on your perspective, teaching at a Title 1 school can be no different than any other school.

At least that’s how it was for me.I taught in a Title 1 school for 6 years and loved it.

So why do some teachers thrive in challenging situations while others struggle?In this episode of Art Made Easy, I’m answering a question that I have put aside for over a year. The question that came from a clearly frustrated teacher weighed on me until I felt I had enough perspective to answer her question.

I’ll share my best tips for how to manage the challenging logistics of teaching art in a Title 1 school.Here are my top tips:

- Be super organized.- Accept you might not have all the art supplies you need, so be creative.

- Learn all you can about management. This will be your ticket to success.- Don’t underestimate the power of choosing engaging subjects for your art lessons.

- Take care of yourself.- Join a supportive learning community.

- Practice positivity&know you are impacting children at a level you may not be aware of
