The Supernanny Approach to Arts Classroom Management

led by: Chad Cornwell

Arts classrooms can be messy – but in education, messy isn’t always a bad thing. The struggle is maintaining control of the mess. After binge watching episodes of Supernanny, Dr. Cornwell found that many of the techniques used with individual families could be applied to arts classroom for maximum effectiveness and efficiency, a greater learning community, a better student experience……and even better administrative evaluations.
