Handing in assignments

by d.mac

Sep 6, 2014

What do you use to keep track of students who turn in work vs those who do not? I teach middle school and I wanted a quick way to instantly see who still owes me something without going through and grading each paper, which can ake me forever. Any suggestions? I have used sticker charts in the past and a sign in sheet, but they create a bottle neck...See More

do all schools have to have a licensed art teacher?

by Jenna

Aug 17, 2014

Hello, If students are taking an art class do the grades have to come from an art teacher or another teacher? The admin in my school in New York have been having non profit "teaching artists" come into my school to teach art classes and the students have been getting grades for that. I am a per diem sub licensed art teacher and I had taught classes...See More

hanging art

by Nicole Tentoni

Aug 20, 2014

Maybe this is an art teacher question, but my school recently re painted all the walls with this paint that is impervious to tape, wax, stikki clips, etc. NOTHING will stay on any wall. I do not know what to do. I can literally use 100 peices of tape on a peice, plus stikki clips, and it falls right off immediately. We have no bulliten boards. Help...See More

Artme I'm never going to complain again. I have 22 elementary classes a week ranging from 40 minutes to 60 minutes, depending on developmental level. My largest class is 23. And I have only one school and my own classroom. 34 years in.
