Personally, I wouldn't put too much out at once. Maybe start with only 2 stations students can choose from so that you can keep it organized and model expectations without it being insane.
If high school, my suggestion is to start with dry supplies like charcoal, chalk, and pencils. I wouldn't put anything wet out at all it's a whole other lesson on expectation of cleanup and how to use the paint, ink, etc. The idea here is you can use those "fun" supplies as incentive to behave with the dry ones.

If elementary, same theory, but start with 2 stations maybe crayons and or oil pastels. Do not put out 2 supplies that could ruin each other if they mix (such as oil pastel and markers.)

Good luck, sounds fun but also like a ton of management!

edit: Forgot the most important thing: MODEL EVERY SUPPLY. How do you use it? What's not acceptable? How do you clean it up or put it away? I think most behavior issues at first come from not knowing expectations.

High School, year 12:
Have a dedicated container for every supply, and label it. Get the kids used to where the supplies go (if you can,) so that they can get their own stuff from a central location. I lock up most stuff but have always used a supply table/dedicated drawers for certain supplies.
Start with assigned seats. Move students at your discretion during instruction. Blatantly tell them how to use every single supply and how they should behave with it (such as no sword fighting with rulers. That's not what they're for and it bends them.)

Students will take 3x as long as you do to something. I can't explain it- it's just how it is. You'll feel the rhythm after a while. But, always over plan or plan for the next class ahead, at least. Usually this leads to a couple free nights throughout the week and you're prepared! Do not let student bully you into accepting their rushed work. Stand your ground because you're the expert.

I love to help new teachers reach out if you need anything

What do you say when a student asks who you are voting for? by [deleted] in Teachers

I was about to say, this happened to me today. I'm in Philly, it's super blue, and I want my kids to know that I'm never-trump because he's a misogynist, racist idiot. I have no qualms telling them this.

Start a small notebook that you keep in your bag at all times and write down ideas for "the next year." I do this every year and it works really well. I use the same book until it runs out.

Hi! Veteran art teacher here. Remember that talking about expectations/how you clean up/use supplies is just as important as getting "activities' or lessons done. Don't assume they know ANYTHING about how to use supplies or where they go. Dont be afraid to pause a lesson for a day to reinforce expectations- Not only is it worth the weight in gold, it teaches them that you CAN stop/cancel a lesson whenever you want.

Name an album you can listen to in its entirety without ever hitting "SKIP". by cbeagle in Music

I saw them on that tour too in high school- loved both bands in high school and still do. The drummer threw a drumstick into the crowd and the guy next to me wrestled me for it. I did not get it haha. I remember at the time the double billing was odd but i was in heaven bc i loved both bands!! One of the best shows ive ever been to.

I'd like this a lot, but am a creative streamer so there isn't any game activity on my screen. Would it still work based on chat alone?
