"With their commitment to sharing ideas, resources, suggestions,
struggles and successes, Burnaford, Aprill, and Weiss have written
their remarkably comprehensive book with a refreshing spirit that
manages to share their experience and expertise without ever giving
the ipression that they have it all figured out....This book should
be required reading for anyone who participates, or wishes to
participate, in an arts education partnership.
-Harvard Educational Review"Throughout the book are many concrete
illustrations of ways artists and classroom teachers have
successfully worked together....this is a very useful additional to
the professional library of classroom teachers, arts specialists,
and educational policymakers."
-Childhood Education"...Not only looks at the arts as a way to make
meaning, but provides engaging examples from the classroom that
show what it can look like when thoughtfully
applied....Renaissance in the Classroom is written in a
strong teacher-to-teacher voice....The theoretical framework is
timely....The relationship of this work to democracy in action in
the classroom is argued in a clear and compelling way."
