| Summary: | Aimed at a broad public, Strong Arts, Strong Schools addresses a number of different rationales to support the necessity of the arts in general education. The author considers a range of philosophies found amongst arts educators and general educators. "This book presents a case for teaching the arts to all children. It argues that, far from a luxury, the arts are a vitally important part of our society and our schools. Highlighting the crucial effect of the arts on learning, this volume shows how the arts can enliven and extend the entire school curriculum by integrating different subjects in innovative interdisciplinary ways. These eighteen chapters are a clarion call to action for any teacher, parent, policy maker, or citizen concerned about the fate of the arts in American society and schools."--Publisher's description |
