Designing educational activities in support of creativity, imagination, and mastery (2011)
Update: 2011-06-22
Description
Educational reform over the last decade has emphasized literacy, numeracy, science and technology. These emphases have led to a narrowing of the curriculum, which has marginalized the arts and humanities. The Young Arts Educational Foundation has forged a partnership with Teachers College in order to promote interdisciplinary investigations related to the HBO television series MASTERCLASS. Professors Abeles, Crocco, and Natriello will discuss the goals and methods of this unique curriculum and website design project, which uses the concept of mastery in the arts to consider mastery in all school subjects and other educational activities.
