IMAGINE...

What if coming to school each morning were a joy
for teachers and students alike?

What if every classroom were a place of exhilaration and fresh wonder, each day a celebration, each teacher a fount of inspiration?

What if every child expressed their highest potential in school ... and then ventured forth to build a better world?

What if an educational system might be devised through which every teacher were encouraged to use his or her special gifts to guide and motivate, to monitor, and to reveal the universe in which we live and move and have our being?

What if the learning of every child was designed to discover and nurture that special individuality which each of us possesses?

That vision of what teaching and learning can be like is exactly what you will experience when you first read
Teaching Curriculum Through the Arts
a teachers manual with scores of activities to help you motivate and teach your students anything and everything through the arts. They'll want to come to school and do their lessons, and you'll be creatively energized when teaching with this approach. And the best part is, you don't have to deviate from the required curriculum which is already in place... just make the connections between arts-based teaching strategies and curriculum content.

I am so thrilled since I have found "Teaching Curriculum Through The Arts." I am a teaching artist in Dance and Drama. It is so comforting to know I have such a phenomenal resource.

Everytime I get a new residency I go straight to this book. It is jam packed with activities, strategies, theatricalization of non-dramatic material (which is extremely useful in partnering in the classroom). The list goes on and on.

I then proceed to go to the CES website to look for more resources like plays and go back again to "Teaching Curriculum Through The Arts" and see different strategies to the project I have picked. This combination of resources has made my residencies very exciting! I get incredible feedback from the students and teachers and always give "Teaching Curriculum Through The Arts" and the CES Website address to the teachers for them to continue this illuminating work.

Thank you for this opportunity, CES!

This comprehensive guide uses the visual and performing arts to help you:
  • address all learning modalities
  • foster cooperative learning

Teaching Curriculum Through the Arts easy-to-read, user-friendly and entertaining. It contains scores of practical activities for students all based on over a quarter of a century of hands-on residencies in thousands of K-12 classrooms. The manual contains principles, processes and techniques for

  • using the arts as teaching strategies
  • designing an arts-based curriculum
  • aligning Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligence with the arts, with curriculum studies and with the lives of the students themselves
  • and assuring the optimum effectiveness of utilizing professional artists in the classroom.

This book contains everything you'll need to launch a successful arts-in-education program to make your teaching and learning process a joyful experience for yourself and everyone involved.

Maybe you don't feel like you're an "artist." That's okay. You don't have to be!

That's one of the greatest things about the process described in this manual. It's designed so that the students are the ones who engage in the arts activities! And they invariably love it!

Remember your most vivid memories of school? They're probably when you created something... when you were involved!

Maybe you wrote a script or story you were proud of, or performed in a school play. Perhaps you created a hands on project for the science fair, or worked with your friends to create a class mural. Maybe you even competed in a contest and won!

This book takes you step by step through all sorts of activities which are arts-based, but require no prior experience in the arts for either you, or your students. And they'll love participating. (Click here to see a more detailed descrition of the contents of the book.)

It's hard to believe that the secrets which help students learn while they're having fun could be contained in just one book. But it's true!
