About the Book
“Teacher as Curator” provides a roadmap for using creative strategies to engage both
educators and students in the learning process. Focusing on key qualities of culturally
and linguistically responsive arts learning, chapters specifically demonstrate how
arts integration strategies and formative assessment can be a catalyst for change
in the classroom. Readers will be inspired by teachers and practitioners who have
donned the role of curator to achieve significant results. Kindergarten–college educators
will find research-based protocols and practices that they can translate into any
educational setting. In digestible chapters, this resource provides a theoretical
base for building artistic literacy into the curriculum and for developing multimodal
opportunities for students to demonstrate their understanding of content. Learn more
