Y'all. I'm thrilled to share my book, Art Teacherin' 101 with you!
Art Teacherin' 101 is a 268-page paperback book that has been 25 years in the art teacherin' making.
When I began teaching in 1998, I had no idea what I was doing, and, honestly, I still don't most days! One thing I did learn quickly is that if you don't have a handle on classroom management, you'll be fighting a losing battle that will leave you feeling exhausted and defeated. That's no way for an amazing art teacher like you to live their life! In this book, I'm sharing all things art room management, from rules and routines to cultivating teamwork and raising up independent thinkers and creators. My goal is to share with you ways to be your very best art teacherin' self for your students, whether you are on a cart, virtual or in the classroom.
But before we dive into that, we're going to do some serious self-discovery to find out exactly why it is you teach art. Why do you wake up every day, rush to school, fill paint trays, sharpen pencils and prep supplies only to do it all over again the very next day? Discovering and knowing your personal why is the biggest gift you can give to your art teachin' self and your students.
I cannot wait to share with you all that I've learned (and continue to learn!) during my 25 years making big messes with small humans. Whether you are in college working toward your art education degree or a seasoned art teacher like myself, I believe there is something in Art Teacherin' 101 for you.

Were you a fly on my wall watching me teach this past year? LOL
You have definitely helped my teaching in just a few short weeks. I organized better and the students have actually thanked me for teaching as they were going out the door. Your book is easy to read and sometimes I find myself laughing out loud. I have definitely felt like I was on my lonely island in Art land and you have helped me relax and my students are loving the new strategies I have learned from you.
Trying to purchase this book for my niece who just started college. I can't find it anywhere to purchase it used or new?!
Wonderful book!
Really it is a Godsend! I am using the art room chant, the rules, the open/closed sign, happy/sad faces, paint palette class points , the signing and I will incorporate more. The last seven years I taught mostly middle school and upper elementary. This year? The whole first semester is Kindergarten through 2nd grade. Hour long classes - I needed help and this book along with Cassie's other books and videos have been a lifesaver. Definitely worth the price.
The book has given me a lot to think about and ideas to try. I almost feel not alone in my role as the art teacher.
