14. 7 ways to improve student craftsmanship, creativity, and confidence
from Apple Blossom Teachers Hosted by Lorraine Padilla
Do you set clear expectations for effort and craftsmanship in student work, but still wind up with most projects looking simple, rushed, or with little variety? Students don't always naturally know what it means to produce high-quality craftsmanship, and even when we show them strong examples of great student work we've saved from past years, we either end up with projects that look almost identical to the sample or we scare our students who feel like there's no way they can create that! But I promise, it just takes a few simple tips we can teach and incorporate into our classrooms to take student work from good to WOW!! Even if you don't personally feel very artistic or creative, these 7 tips can easily boost the level of work produced in your classroom, including your own! Follow along on Instagram this week as I share some throwbacks of these strategies in action in my classroom, and let me know how you plan to use them in yours!
