Description:

It's the first Tuesday of May, which means it's time for the Art Ed Radio Mailbag! Host Tim Bogatz is joined by Amanda Heyn for a jam-packed episode full of practical advice and a few laughs along the way. This month's mailbag covers some of the most common challenges art teachers face as the school year winds down.

Tim and Amanda tackle how to support students who get frustrated when their work doesn't match their vision, how to teach and maintain effective cleanup routines for paint and clay, end-of-year survival tips for first-year teachers, and how to keep your classroom culture strong without losing structure as spring fever sets in. They also answer a question from a brand-new high school art teacher starting a program from scratch, with plenty of creative supply suggestions.
