Transforming City Schools Through Art: Approaches to Meaningful K-12 Learning. Edited by Karen Hutzel, Flavia M.C. Bastos, Kimberly J. Cosier
This anthology places art at the center of meaningful urban education reform. Providing a fresh perspective on urban education, the contributors describe a positive, asset-based community development model designed to tap into the teaching/learning potential already available in urban cities. Rather than focusing on a lack of resources, this innovative approach shows teachers how to use the cultural resources at hand to engage students in the processes of critical, imaginative investigation. Featuring personal narratives that reflect the authors’ vast experience and passion for teaching art. Also available on Teachers College Press website
