More Description
Arts Integration in Education: Teachers and Teaching Artists as Agents of Change is an insightful investigation into the enormous possibilities for change afforded by the application of arts integration. Exploring a range of settings – from pre-school to higher education, from public schools to charter schools – and with contributions from research theorists and analysts, educational psychologists, pre-K-12 classroom teachers, and teaching artists, this timely and important book offers practiced and practical perspectives on how arts-based training and arts-integrated instruction can be incorporated within individual subject areas and across the curriculum.
Divided into three sections that explore “Theory”, “Impact” and “Practice” – Theoretical Dimensions of Arts-Based Teaching and Teacher Training, The Practical Processes of Arts-Based Teaching and Teacher Training, and The Impact of Teacher Training – Arts Integration in Education explains not only “why” arts integration works, but also “how” it works. Each section also contains a reflection component that allows for consideration of the individual and composite viewpoints that are “reflected” in each chapter.
