Transforming Arts Teaching: The Role of Higher Education
examines innovations in arts-teacher training. Best practices at 24
higher-education institutions are featured, along with proceedings from
Dana’s national symposium, an event that examined ways in which
colleges, universities, and conservatories can enhance arts learning.
This
free publication features a prolegomenon by Dana Chairman William
Safire and full text of the keynote address given by Cornell President
David Skorton, M.D., at the Dana symposium. Highlights of the symposium
are featured in an executive summary by Editor Jane L. Polin and
through panel excerpts.
The book also includes profiles of
programs at two-dozen higher-education institutions, chosen by a select
committee for their exemplary training of arts educators.
