This resource, written for preservice teachers and at the request of practitioners in the field, shares the expertise of professionals from the fields of art education, special education, art therapy, museum education, and medical research. Avoiding professional jargon, it highlights teachers’ own stories and provides proven examples of successful lessons and teaching/learning strategies in the classroom and also in one-on-one settings.
The book includes discussion questions at the end of each chapter as well as a helpful guide of annotated resources for inspiration, professional practice, recognition, and funding.
