Arts Education And Literacies - Taylor & Francis Ltd

Arts Education Has Not Been A Central Focus Of Education Reform Movements In The United States, And None Of The Current Education Standards Frameworks Deeply Address The Processes, Texts And Literacies That Are Inherent To Arts Disciplines. This Lack Of Clarity Poses A Problem For State And District Leaders Who Might Be Inclined To Advocate For The Arts In Schools And Classrooms Across The Country, But Cannot Find Adequate Detail In Their Guiding Frameworks. This Volume Acknowledges The Challenges That Arts Educators Face, And Posits That Authentic Arts Instruction And Learning Can Benefit A Young Persons Development Both Inside And Outside Of The Classroom.
