Okay okay. So I’m a band director. Why would anyone listen to me anyway. I’m just an elective teacher.
My friend JD2718 emailed me and told me about some stuff that he does in his math class. So even if you ignore my advice about classroom management, maybe some of his advice about keeping students engaged will apply to you. Hop on over and check out Teaching off topic 3.
By the way, I have ADD so my kids know that if they ask me a question about my dogs or what I did over the weekend or pretty much anything else, I’ll get off topic. But even when I do stay focused, I find ways to bring some off-topic material into the classroom as well.
For more reading by JD, check out Teaching off topic 1 and Teaching off topic 2.
