After beginning in the 1970s as a grassroots movement, TAB's growth has been fueled by passionate teachers sharing ideas through social media, conferences, workshops, and professional development events. TAB's continued expansion is driven by its student-centered approach to artmaking, the creativity of its practitioners, and a growing demand for educational models that prioritize innovation and self-direction. With chapters tailored for a wide audience--including experienced and new art teachers, administrators, and teacher educators--this book serves as a practical resource for understanding and implementing TAB in art rooms everywhere. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eBook Features: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes over 40 full-color images of student artwork, classroom resources, and art teachers practicing in their studios\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers ideas and guidance for using a choice-based approach to visual arts education that values student agency, classroom community, and artistic process and thinking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCites evidence-based research that supports TAB as a best practice in contemporary art education and explains the psychological underpinnings of choice and student engagement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses the growth of this approach over the past 50 years, as well as TAB's place in the historical evolution of art education.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer R.
