Description: "Real Lives is grounded research exploring the narratives of good art teachers who are the heart of good art programs everywhere. There teachers work with African American, White, Hispanic, privileged, and challenged populations across all grades in urban and rural locations from Oregon to Florida and from Texas to Minnesota. In addition to better understanding these teachers' drives, rewards, and frustrations, readers will learn more about specific issues and themes in the field, such as common instructional strategies, discipline techniques, routines, art content, and the logistics of materials and tools in a realistic, nonformulaic way."--Jacket.
