Reseña del libro "Democratic Habits in the Art Classroom: Supporting Student Voice, Choice, and Community"
This volume explores the ways in which practicing K-12 art educators can engage with students to develop democratic habits. The contributors present case studies based on action research conducted in their own classrooms as part of their master's in arts education. The text is divided into three sections that correspond to habits the author-teachers cultivated in their classroom: choice, voice, and caring for community. Each author presents real-world examples for development of not only art skills, but also ways of being and interacting that allow humans to contribute meaningfully to the world. Readers will hear from art educators who strive to teach their students ownership and empowerment through problem-solving, independence, and responsibility. This timely book shows how art education is a bastion of freedom in public education, where students and teachers can think and act collaboratively and critically. Book Features: Offers examples of transformative teaching that give students voice, choice, and opportunities to care for community. Provides theory as well as replicable models that teachers can use. Addresses the difficulty of balancing student and teacher needs within the politically embattled field of education. Shares the voices of art educators in Midwest classrooms ranging from elementary to high school, rural to urban communities.
