She also shows that innovative and exciting art lessons don't need large amounts of funding, transportation or even a museum within the local community. Each chapter includes photographs, talking points and key lesson ideas along with links to further resources.

Book excerpt: The Power to Save a Life Jacob Chastain grew up in an environment filled with drugs and violence. Inside the home that should have felt safe, fear and anxiety were the desperate norm. Stability and security eluded him as he was shuffled between family and friends that would take him in. But at school, things were different. There, day after day, year after year, Chastain's teachers saved him. Teach Me, Teacher is the true story of a childhood marked by heartache--a story that may be similar to that of the children sitting in your classroom. It's the story that shaped Jacob Chastain into the educator he is today. Lessons learned from his experiences as a child and as a growing educator offer reflections on the trials and triumphs facing teachers and students everywhere. From these lessons, we learn that one's darkest moments can ultimately lead to a meaningful and fulfilling life when someone cares enough to step in and make a difference. Written in celebration of teachers and the power of education, Teach Me, Teacher affirms that you have the power to save a life. "Jacob Chastain pours his heart out on the pages of Teach Me, Teacher by sharing his personal journey through childhood trauma. His message that "action is the antidote to suffering" is a powerful reminder to us all to do more, be more, understand more, and care more for our students." --Kim Bearden, co-founder and executive director, The Ron Clark Academy, author of Talk to Me "Teach Me, Teacher is one of the most courageous, heartbreaking, hopeful books I've ever read." --Regie Routman, author of Literacy Essentials "Jacob Chastain's raw honesty is something that we need more of in the education world." --Halee Sikorski, A Latte Learning "Teach Me, Teacher is both an uplifting memoir and a message to all of us in education of the power we have to build relationships and make a difference for all of our students." --Dr. Sue Szachowicz, senior fellow, Successful Practices Network "Jacob Chastain takes us on a transformational journey where past and present converge into possibility. His story of resilience and hope is a celebration of the impact each of us can have when professional purpose leads the way." --Dr. Mary Howard, author of Good to Great Teaching

Download or read book Rural Access to Art and Art Education written by Mary Milliken and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The arts have been used to revitalize communities, improve psychological well being, and provide a catalyst for social change (Guetzkow, 2002, p. 2). My research examined access to the arts and art education in the rural, small town of Elmira, NY, where I was born and raised. In 2012, I returned to work there as an artist and educator after living in New York City and learned there are obstacles for prioritizing the arts in Elmira. When I came to Chicago to study art education, I noticed similarities between Elmira and communities in Chicago. Although these places are categorized differently (rural and urban) and are nearly 700 miles apart, both face obstacles for bringing community members together to provide access to the arts and art education, like poverty and racial segregation. In my thesis, I explored some of the struggles that artists, educators, and arts advocates face in Elmira in order to make connections to the complexities that communities grapple with throughout the United States. The primary goal of my research was to create a conversation in which experiences are recognized and acknowledged. My research questions were: how might Elmira struggle to prioritize the arts and art education? Why might a person be interested in advocating for the arts and art education in Elmira? Why might a person coming from the Elmira experience of art and art education choose to pursue a creative career elsewhere? How might my research be influenced by my experience as an insider, who lived and worked in Elmira for many years, and as an outsider, who has now lived in Chicago for almost two years? My research was a qualitative case study in which I conducted interviews with various members of the Elmira arts community over the course of a month, both in Elmira and remotely in Chicago. Data consisted of my own observations and experiences, interview transcriptions, and scholarly sources pertaining to the topic. I discovered through my research that Elmira offers myriad challenges for creating arts and art education access, such as a lack of economic prosperity and a dwindling population. I also found that Elmira has more access to the arts and art education than I realized, including arts organizations, museums, and community events.

Download or read book STEM the Tide written by David E. Drew and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2015-05 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proven strategies for reforming STEM education in America’s schools, colleges, and universities. One study after another shows American students ranking behind their international counterparts in the STEM fields—science, technology, engineering, and math. Businesspeople and cultural critics such as Bill Gates warn that this alarming situation puts the United States at a serious disadvantage in the high-tech global marketplace of the twenty-first century, and President Obama places improvement in these areas at the center of his educational reform. What can be done to reverse this poor performance and to unleash America’s wasted talent? David E. Drew has good news—and the tools America needs to keep competitive. Drawing on both academic literature and his own rich experience, Drew identifies proven strategies for reforming America’s schools, colleges, and universities, and his comprehensive review of STEM education in the United States offers a positive blueprint for the future. These research-based strategies include creative and successful methods for building strong programs in science and mathematics education and show how the achievement gap between majority and minority students can be closed. A crucial measure, he argues, is recruiting, educating, supporting, and respecting America’s teachers. Accessible, engaging, and hard hitting, STEM the Tide is a clarion call to policymakers, administrators, educators, and everyone else concerned about students’ participation in the STEM fields and America’s competitive global position.
