It was meant to test a hypothesis that a very well-designed project in the arts can teach high school students academic skills and habits of mind while increasing motivation, emotional intelligence, creativity and holistic thinking skills. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is an antidote to other books that purport to show teachers an exact formula to follow to get amazing results in the classroom. It will help to create a classroom that is more like play, with much more freedom and less scripting in order to engage students at a deeper level, and still get excellent results. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy teaching a project-based history class like an arts studio and having the students redesign an archetypal American product in a very natural, improvisational way Werberger was able to have an energizing effect on their academic learning. This book will serve as a guide for teachers to learn more about the adaptive, creative, and epistemologically fascinating concept of arts-based research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Raleigh Werberger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1475824599\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781475824599\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Raleigh Werberger","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48445108912383,"sku":"9781475824599","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0b69681a-0d5e-47e3-8639-f7f3075c9fa2.jpg?v=1777216600","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-project-based-learning-to-artistic-raleigh-werberger-9781475824599","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
