Overview

While it’s true that arts education can help boost test scores in other disciplines, here’s a book that explains the most important reason to include the arts in schooling: brain development.

Using the latest research on the brain and learning, Jensen presents the definitive case for making the arts a core part of your curriculum and integral to teaching in every subject and classroom.

Learn how to use musical, visual, and kinesthetic arts to increase opportunities for more students to learn, enhance their thinking, and make classrooms more positive and inclusive. Teaching tips throughout the book offer easy and practical ways to incorporate the arts into every grade level. (ASCD Premium Member book, 2001) 8" x 10", 139 pages.
