The Arts and the Inner Lives of Teachers.
Powell, Mary Clare
Phi Delta Kappan, v78 n6 p450-53 Feb 1997
Creative Arts in Learning, a master's degree program at Lesley College Graduate School, acknowledges the importance of teacher creativity. By feeding teachers' inner lives, the arts can transform the tone of classrooms or entire schools. Courses in storytelling, visual arts, and drama help teachers demystify the arts, learn alternative communication methods, and energize their classrooms. (MLH)
