Produktbeschreibung
Every good educator has asked themselves how they can reach their students most effectively. Gail Baker grapples this question from the perspective of both student and teacher in her memoir as she reflects on her 45-year-long career in the field of education, offering that it is the integration of arts within teaching that carries the solution. In Vision and Values, she revisits the experiences that have shaped her in her personal and professional life, including the journey she underwent as a student that led her to become a teacher herself. Then, using stories from her prolific career, she paints a picture of the lessons she has learned of using storytelling, visual arts, drama, music and dance to connect with students of all ages and abilities. Her hope as an educator, like many, is to create a more just and equitable world-one which the arts can assist. Informative and reflective, Vision and Values is more than a memoir: it is also proof that the arts can change our lives, no matter what stage of life we're in, by allowing us to imagine and create.
