Was bedeutet es fur eine Regelschule in einem sozialen Brennpunktgebiet mit einem kunstbetonten Schulprofil zu arbeiten? Kann der programmatische Entwurf einer Integration vor allem der schulbildungsfernen Kinder uber intensivierte kunstlerische Tatigkeit in der Praxis aufrechterhalten werden?
Diese Studie zeigt, dass es in der Institution Schule nicht unbegrenzt moglich ist, die Raume fur asthetische Erfahrungen auszuweiten. Gleichwohl kann uber die Ermoglichung asthetischer Erfahrungen insbesondere bei krisenbelasteten Biografien eine Entlastung von Handlungsnotwendigkeiten und dem ansonsten in der Schule dominanten Bewahrungsdruck erreicht werden. Im gelingenden Fall werden dann auch bei Kindern individuell biografische Bildungsprozesse im Modus asthetischer Selbstreflexivitat in Gang gesetzt, die im Hinblick auf die Erfullung schulisch-institutioneller Lern- und Bildungsaufgaben mittelbar als positiv auszuweisen sind."

Infused with a warm, affable tone, Making Music in Montessori is the Guide's guide to music education, providing Montessori teachers all at once a snappy, practical handbook, music theory mentor, pedagogical manual, and resource anthology. The book's goal: To give teachers confidence in music, so that when their children walk away from a lesson all fired up to compose their own music, their teacher will know how to guide them. Before Making Music in Montessori, teachers may have only dreamed of a classroom buzzing with children working, learning, and growing with music alongside all of the other subject areas in the Montessori curriculum. Now, it's a reality. If children's minds are a fertile field, then Making Music in Montessori will stir Montessori teachers of all musical backgrounds to don their overalls, roll up their sleeves, sow the musical seeds, and watch them blossom under their children's flaming imagination.

How Artists See is a series of interactive, inquiry-based books designed to teach children the art of observation and increase their visual literacy. Each volume presents 18 diverse works of art, all devoted to a subject that children know from personal experience. Author Colleen Carroll's friendly, conversational text is filled with thought-provoking questions that promote exploration, self-expression, and fun. In this revised and redesigned edition of the classic How Artists See Families, more than half the artworks are newly selected - and they range from a storytelling quilt to a giant cardboard sculpture. Children will discover how Barbara Hepworth evoked a mother's love with simple stone shapes, how Kehinde Wiley depicted the strength of sisterhood in a portrait, and how Van Gogh captured the joyous moment of a baby's first steps.

Die sechzehnte Folge des Jahrbuchs wird eingeleitet mit einem Berichtsteil, der neben Informationen uber Ausstellungsaktivitaten im Bereich der Kinder- und Jugendliteratur die Eroeffnungsansprachen von Claire Bradford und Klaus Doderer zum 19. Kongress der International Research Society for Children's Literature (IRSCL) 2009 in Frankfurt am Main mit dem Thema "Children's Literature and Cultural Diversity in the Past and the Present" bietet. Die drei letzten Studien des Beitragsteils bilden einen thematischen Schwerpunkt zur Fantasy-Literatur - ein weiterer Beleg fur die fortdauernde Beschaftigung mit diesem Genre, das sich im letzten Jahrzehnt zur Leitgattung der erzahlenden Kinder- und Jugendliteratur entwickelt hat. Die internationale Orientierung des Jahrbuchs wird in dieser Folge mit Beitragen eines indischen und eines agyptischen Literaturwissenschaftlers fortgefuhrt.
