Assigned Seating

I have students stand on a blue tape line when entering and leaving the Art room.

In the beginning of the school year, I had my desks in rows, which tended to put students in a bad mood. I looked into other classrooms and saw their arrangements. Inspired, I put the desks in groups. The students were then given assigned seats, and they tended to keep each other accountable in their own groups.

Rhythm warm-ups get students engaged at the beginning of the class

If an assignment seems to be challenging I will pivot or even take student suggestions

Before students do independent work, I make it a point to model my expectations for the assignments. (Sentence starters are a great help, especially for ELD students.)

Cooperative/Collaborative learning

Project based learning

I organize the lesson by first providing a warm-up at the beginning of class.

I really lean in as much as possible to each student to assess whether they are understanding the skills that are needed to play keyboard. In chorus, this is a bit more challenging. I have not yet figured out how to keep individual students in chorus fully engaged, especially when it seems like students are in chorus more for the social component rather that the educational component

Demonstration based teaching. Step by step instruction and show and tell.

Students in my class often pick their own groups (for projects and finals). I tend to say, "be sure you are confident in the group that you are forming!" before giving them free range. They tend to do better when they are familiar with the members that are in their group.

# data[].attributes.body
Groups of 2-4 with a preferred partner and a less preferred partner.

Classroom groupings work well in keyboard class especially because students like to show what skills they have completed. Encouraging students to play out loud for their classmates is also important

Alphabetically, student needs, student choice.

Each day is a routine. The students know when to being out their Chromebooks (for warm-ups and notes), and when it is time to be independent. Establishing the routine and norms early is beneficial.
