Welcome everyone to the Craft & Draft podcast! We are so excited to bring you what we love, talking with you about workshop, literacy, writing, reading, and real world teaching. 

Jacob and Pam answer a listener’s question regarding what to do when students are not following the workshop expectations.  Pam empathizes with the listener and tells about some moments in her career where the students did not cooperate making for some difficult days.  

Jacob shares how he managed a few difficult days and years in the classroom.  He explains how he operates in a productive, but somewhat noisy environment.  

Pam explains how routines help with management.  Jacob discusses the routines in his workshop and Pam mentions how she has had to change her typical routine to help curb some undesirable behaviors as well as the varying needs of the students in her workshop.

Join Jacob and Pam while they talk about managing difficult days. Maybe you will find a nugget to help you when you have a difficult workshop day!
