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.

This book and everything she does is great! Filled with joy and great ways to improve art teacherin'
I wish I would have read this before I started teaching this year. Cassie is a wealth of knowledge in all art teacherin’ ways, but it’s also nice to read certain parts of the book and know that she gets it. I’ve experienced and felt so much of what she writes about, and it has made me feel much less alone. She also has such a great, refreshing energy that it makes for a fun read, too!
I purchased this book for my daughter, who is the Art Teacher at our local elementary school. She frequently uses ideas from the blog and I am sure this book will be very helpful as well.
I am in my fifth year of teaching art and this book gave me the new ideas, tricks, and reassurance that I have been searching high and low for. It's so light hearted that I read it quickly! Like talking to a friend or mentor. It was serious enough for me to highlight and take notes as well. The ultimate guide to all things "art teacherin'". Thank you Cassie Stephens for all that you do for our art teacher village!
What an awesome book for all ART teachers out there, the rookies and the experienced ones. I wish I had known all this advice 24 years ago before I became an art teacher! Makes a great gift for my student teacher!! Thank you!
