Education in the arts

"There is an increasing trend for primary school teachers to be asked to work across a number of art forms, including drama, art, music, media, technology, photography, dance and performance. 'Education in the Arts' covers all these areas, as well as addressing the issue of being the arts education teacher in the school, rather than an art, music or drama specialist. It is well grounded in theory and research, with links to teaching practice, allowing students to apply what they are learning to new contexts, and encouraging them to become reflective practitioners. Students can continue to use this book as they become practising teachers, drawing on guidance on how to implement the various arts practices in a school setting." -- Publisher's website.
