by Brent Wilson
On This Page
Description
How can lasting change be made in the way art is taught in America's schools? This was the challenge facing the six regional professional development consortia sponsored by the Getty Education Institute for the Arts. The Quiet Evolution documents this remarkable change effort, which is unique because it has affected thousands of students and teachers in hundreds of school districts. This report provides a compelling history of the evolution of arts education practice and theory in the show more institutes, including a detailed and richly anecdotal account of how each professional development institute built a coherent, comprehensive approach to arts education. Education policy makers, educators, and community members interested in school reform will find The Quiet Evolution an invaluable guide to the many strategies developed by the regional consortia to change the schools they serve. show lessTags
