With lots of examples and color images, this resource is both a
foundational text and a practical guidebook for bringing
contemporary art into elementary and middle school classrooms as a
way to make learning joyful and meaningful for all learners. The
author shows how asking questions and posing problems spark
curiosity and encourage learners to think deeply and make
meaningful connections across the curriculum. At the center of this
approach is creativity, with contemporary visual art as its
inspiration. The text covers methods of creative inquiry-based
learning, art and how it connects to the "big ideas" addressed by
academic domains, flexible structures teachers can use for
curriculum development, creative teaching strategies using
contemporary art, and models of art-based inquiry curriculum. Book
Features: Provides research-based project ideas and curriculum
models for arts integration. Shows how Project Zero's flexible
structures and frameworks can be used to develop creative inquiry
and an arts integration curriculum. Explains how contemporary
visual art connects to the four major disciplines-science,
mathematics, social studies, and language arts. Includes full-color
images of contemporary art that are appropriate for elementary and
middle school learners. Demonstrates how arts integration can and
should be substantive, multi-dimensional, and creative.
For anyone who has ever wanted to become a better person, this book
will truly inspire. God Is a Coleman Lantern is the autobiography
of Connie Darlene Stewart, a woman who has dedicated her life to
following in the footsteps of Mother Teresa, helping the homeless
and poor in the Phoenix area. From collecting outdated canned goods
from a local supermarket, to rags and blankets from a local
mechanic, Stewart helped the homeless in her community one donation
at a time. She later created a "ministry on wheels" and traveled
the California Coast, providing food, clothing, and supplies to the
poor. The book details Stewart's spiritual journey over the 61
years of her life. When she set in motion her own process of
self-discovery, she realized that God's love lives in everyone. In
the author's own words: "My relationship to God has been a very
personal one. He has protected me, loved me, put stones of learning
in my way and angels on my shoulder. The journey of spirituality is
a lifelong process. This book is my spiritual journey." Author Bio:
