E-book Title: Teaching Curriculum Through the Arts
Book Description: IMAGINE...
What if coming to school each morning were a joy
for teachers and students alike?
What if every classroom were a place of exhilaration and fresh wonder, each day a celebration, each teacher a fount of inspiration?
What if every child expressed their highest potential in school ... and then ventured forth to build a better world?
What if an educational system might be devised through which every teacher were encouraged to use his or her special gifts to guide and motivate, to monitor, and to reveal the universe in which we live and move and have our being?
What if the learning of every child was designed to discover and nurture that special individuality which each of us possesses?
That vision of what teaching and learning can be like is exactly what you will experience when you first read
Teaching Curriculum Through the Arts
an arts-in-education teachers manual with scores of activities to help you motivate and teach your students anything and everything through the arts. They'll want to come to school and do their lessons, and you'll be creatively energized when teaching with this approach. And the best part is, you don't have to deviate from the required curriculum which is already in place... just make the connections between arts-based teaching strategies and curriculum content.
This comprehensive arts-in-education teachers manual uses the visual and performing arts to help you:
address all learning modalities
foster cooperative learning
stimulate student motivation
teach literacy
encourage confidence and good self esteem
and integrate national, state and local arts standards and core curriculum standards.
Teaching Curriculum Through the Arts is easy-to-read, user-friendly and entertaining. It contains scores of practical arts-in-education activities for students all based on over a quarter of a century of hands-on residencies in thousands of K-12 classrooms. The teachers manual contains principles, processes and techniques for
using the arts as teaching strategies
designing an arts-based curriculum
aligning Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligence with the arts, with curriculum studies and with the lives of the students themselves
and assuring the optimum effectiveness of utilizing professional artists in the classroom.
This teachers manual contains everything you'll need to launch a successful arts-in-education program to make your teaching and learning process a joyful experience for yourself and everyone involved.
Maybe you don't feel like you're an "artist." That's okay. You don't have to be!
That's one of the greatest things about the process described in this teachers manual. It's designed so that the students are the ones who engage in the arts activities! And they invariably love it!
Remember your most vivid memories of school? They're probably when you created something... when you were involved!
Maybe you wrote a script or story you were proud of, or performed in a school play. Perhaps you created a hands on project for the science fair, or worked with your friends to create a class mural. Maybe you even competed in a contest and won!
This teachers manual takes you step by step through all sorts of activities which are arts-based, but require no prior experience in the arts for either you, or your students. And they'll love participating.
Here's what you'll find in
Creative Drama, games and activities to prepare K-8 students to successfully act out stories, events, concepts and ideas in all curriculum areas.
Improvisation, taking role playing to the next level, emphasizing plot, character and setting.
