Exemplary arts integration projects and practices across the K-8 curriculum are shared in this resource. Rather than providing formulas or scripts to be followed, the authors describe how the arts provide an entry point for gaining insight into why and how students learn. The book highlights examples of public school teachers who are integrating visual arts, music, drama, and dance with subject matter in English, social studies, science, and math. As a guide to a school reform model, it also explores intensive teacher-education and principal-training programs in several higher education institutions and offers concrete ideas for educators seeking to strengthen their own skills. Co-published with Teachers College Press.

“I find the result of these authors’ efforts stunning. The volume stands as a TESTAMENT TO WHAT EDUCATORS MIGHT OFFER TO STUDENTS AND SOCIETY if we can move beyond our insular walls and the hierarchies that they breed.“
—Lois Hetland, Professor of Art Education at Massachusetts College of Art and Design and a research associate at Harvard/ Project Zero
