I am a music teacher who is embedding literature into my classes. This book gave me lots of ideas and rationales for what I am doing. This will be helpful when I have to embed common core elements to my teaching.
What readers are saying about a reason to read
As an educator and an education writer, I am always on the lookout for books that give teachers a path toward a more engaging, purposeful, creative classroom. This book does all those things. I love the concepts Wootton and Landay have developed and I will sing them from the rooftops now that I know how to use ArtsLiteracy to get students out of their chairs and on their feet.
