[> Subject: Re: First-year Art Teacher Author: laurel lammers [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:15:07 04/10/07 Tue > First year teacher, I have had similar situations for 18 years. I have developed my own lessons using the core content from my school district. These lessons are sometimes one or two class periods long with a few that last longer. I like to have longer lessons to enable the kids to really put time and effort into these art projects. I tie most of these together as units that include art history and assessment. My exception for this is when we are doing clay. For storage purposes I do this lesson by the day. Example: Tuesday classes do clay and no one else until I have fired their work and it has gone home. I am involved in a long project to improve my assessment and teaching for such short contact time with the students so any other suggestions for the time starved let me know.
