The new edition of this best selling text on arts-based teaching redefines literacy to include the arts (literature, drama, dance, and music) as a way to understand the world and express oneself. This research-based arts instruction provides teachers with a way to engage and motivate all learners, cultivate a positive classroom environment, and encourage life-long learning.

Five Seed Strategy chapters provide a compendium of activities to use literature, art, music, drama, and dance as everyday teaching tools. 

Finally, Part 1 provides the research and theory that supports the arts literacy needed by classroom teachers (as outlined in the new INTASC standards).  This is a must-have resource for teachers who want to use the arts to motivate students and enhance achievement.
