Teaching Curriculum Through The Arts - Play With Purpose: A Student Workbook

PRLog (Press Release) - May 07, 2009 -
Teaching Curriculum through the Arts is a guide for teachers that should be required reading for every educator, while Play with Purpose is a workbook for students.
Both books were written by William Thomas Sly, Joseph Brockett and Ronn Kistler, founders of Creative Educational Systems.

Based on over 33 years of residencies in thousands of K-12 school classrooms, the user-friendly teachers’ manual offers practical activities designed to spark learning through the use of visual and performing arts as teaching strategies for all subjects in all grade levels. The strategies show how to design arts-based thematic curriculums; offer a plan to utilize professional artists in the classroom as co-mentors; and train teachers in the use of arts techniques.

Play with Purpose: A Student Workbook is a multiple-intelligences-based, innovative guide for students and is a companion piece to Teaching Curriculum Through the Arts. It is designed to expand ways of thinking and creative problem-solving for students. And it provides creative challenges, rather than merely academic tasks to be checked and graded by teachers. It lets students have fun while learning, and learn while having fun.
Everything needed to launch a successful arts-in-education program is included in these two books, which feature creative drama and improvisational techniques.
