Representations of Working in Arts Education
Arts education provides students with opportunities to build knowledge and skills in self-expression, imagination, creative and collaborative problem solving and creation of shared meanings. Engagement in arts education has also been said to positively affect overall academic achievement and development of empathy towards others. This book provides key insights from stakeholders across the teaching and learning spectrum and offers examples of pedagogical practice to those interested in facilitating arts education.
