KATHERINE M. DOUGLAS and DIANE B. JAQUITH

 

Douglas and Jaquith introduced the concepts of Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB) and choice-based art education in their first edition bestseller, which was designed to facilitate independent learning and support student choices in subject matter and media. This complete revision offers updated recommendations for assessments at multiple levels, the latest strategies and structures for effective instruction, and new resources and helpful tips that provide multiple perspectives and entry points for readers.

Includes sample lesson plans and demonstrations, assessment criteria, curricular mapping, room planning, classroom set-ups, media exploration, and other concrete and open-ended strategies for implementing TAB in K–8.
