Trey King came in and taught us how to bring a sense of humor to our classroom. He talked about how we should always have high standards for our students to challenge them to be their best. It is important to do projects that interest the students and makes them want to do art. He also stressed the importance of file organization on your computer. It is important to be the influence for your students and not focus so much on control. He talked about how it is important to have rubrics for the projects and make them available to students and their parents. It is important to get to know your students but not to be too friendly, ask them age appropriate questions about their weekends or family lives. Technology is important in todays classroom and also keeps the students interested. When student teaching it is important to let yourself fail and learn from them. (Notes from class are below)
