Improving Teaching and Learning in the Arts (Looking Afresh at the Primary Curriculum Series)

"Improving teaching and learning in the arts provides guidance on how to inspire pupils with the skills for learning in the arts and covers the contribution of arts to children's learning, from Art and Design and Design and Technology to Drama and Music. It examines the teacher's role in the teaching and learning of skills, knowledge and understanding in, through and of the arts during the primary school years, to empower children increasingly to make use of the full range of expressive and creative media. The underlying principal is that children need to learn as well as to 'do'; that is, that all children have the right to develop and extend their skills to their full potential."--Jacket.
