Teaching the Arts: Early Childhood and Primary Education foregrounds the importance of Arts education to children's development and learning while connecting each Arts area to the Australian Curriculum. The third edition provides comprehensive coverage and an exciting introduction to Arts education in Australia, with updated content and new, interactive features. The book covers the key areas of Dance, Drama, Media Arts, Music and Visual Arts, full of teacher tips, spotlights on arts education, and downloadable lesson plans. This book is a vital resource for all pre-service early childhood and primary teachers, emphasising the fundamental nature of the Arts in schools. Through the Arts, if we can instil a love of learning, then we can all learn to love.
As interest in creativity explodes, it has become more complicated to decide how to best nurture creativity in our schools. There are the controversial Common Core Standards in many states. Meanwhile, the classroom has become increasingly digital; it is easier to access information, communicate ideas, and learn from people across the world. Many countries now include cultivating creativity as a national educational policy recommendation, yet there is still debate over best practices.
