Some teachers feel like kids aren\u2019t able to work on the same project for extended periods of time \u2014 even as little as 30 minutes. They get bored or anxious, so they rush through the project in a haphazard way just to get to the next activity. If this is the reality then perhaps we can reconsider how we engage with our students. To hold a child\u2019s attention, a new strategy might be the best way to get them excited to participate in the lesson. In this episode, I\u2019ll offer my tips and tricks to keep your class focused and teach your students how to enjoy the creative process by slowing down. Join us in the Facebook Dazzler Group - After Show Discussion to discuss your process in the art room. What are your tips to engage early finishers? What\u2019s the pace of your classroom? We want to hear what works for you, or maybe what areas you want to improve in.
