PBIS in the Elementary Art Room: Using a Puppet for Motivation and Behavior Management

Thursday October 17, 2024 4:00pm - 4:50pm EDT

How can you implement PBIS in the art classroom? Let a puppet do it for you! I will explain how I use a puppet character to keep behavior on track, so we can spend more class time making art. The puppet captures students’ attention, encourages students to follow art room rules and procedures, and rewards students for demonstrating “star artist” behavior. This is truly PBIS in action!

Orange Classroom (High Museum)

Based on my capstone from Piedmont, in this workshop, I will be going over the research I used to help older elementary students want to create art. Students who were part of this research were more excited to make art. We used pop culture-based lessons and more engaging projects for older students.
