Releasing the Imagination

More about the book

""This remarkable set of essays defines the role of imagination in general education, arts education, aesthetics, literature, and the social and multicultural context ... The author argues for schools to be restructured as places where students reach out for meanings and where the previously silenced or unheard may have a voice. She invites readers to develop processes to enhance and cultivate their own visions through the application of imagination and the arts. Releasing the Imagination should be required reading for all educators, particularly those in teacher education, and for general and academic readers."--Publisher's description
