What if a Student Doesn't Want to Work? | Choice-Based Art Education

One of the biggest concerns teachers have when transitioning to a choice-based art education is, "if I let them choose, won't they just choose nothing?"

And the answer is, yes and no. The majority of students will fully engage, while a few from time to time will choose to do "nothing". However, how you respond to those students can make or break the success of your program going forward! In this video, I share 5+ tips for making sure all of your students are able to achieve success in the choice-based art classroom.
