商品簡介
Countering recent trends to "teach to the test," this text advocates that the arts are essential to the K-12 learning process in that it combines thinking and feeling in a generative process, supports the child as person and artist, promotes the school in justifying and celebrating learning, and educates the community in locating the school as a muse and safe haven. Addressed to policy-makers and educators whether or not they have experience in the arts, it offers practical arts-related strategies to improve teaching and learning in schools, community art centers, and museum programs and includes ideas specific to disenfranchised students.
