Accessible arts education : principles, habits, and strategies to unleash every student's creativity and learning
Rhoda Bernard (Author)
"Art, like common core subjects, draws students from a wide array of backgrounds, skillsets, interests, and learning capabilities. Art education, therefore, requires the same considerations to make instruction and learning accessible for disabled students aspiring to create and explore their potential. In Accessible Arts Education: Principles, Habits, and Strategies to Unleash Every Student's Creativity and Learning, Rhoda Bernard addresses the shortcomings of arts education instruction and advocates for flexible adaptation of traditional pedagogical methods to afford equitable learning experiences for disabled students. Drawing upon personal reflections and testimonies from disabled artists, Bernard introduces readers to the perspectives and realities of students living with disabilities. She proposes simple means by which teachers can work actively with these students to reduce anxiety, address sensory overload, and communicate openly about needs, experiences, and possible strategies to maximize the students' learning potential. Armed with planning tools to address student learning barriers and develop effective strategies, readers of Accessible Arts Education will employ a broad range of responsive, innovative tactics to create welcoming learning environments for all students seeking an arts education"-- Provided by publisher
