Relationship & the Arts In Teacher Education

by Margret Yonemura

A must read for educators who deal with today’s criticism of teachers and by those who are the critics! Yonemura addresses many criticisms such as the profession’s neglect of high standards and basic skills, the inability to help student teachers discipline children and the direction of the multicultural and diversified educational approach now popular in education systems. Yonemura weaves her concepts of relationship development and incorporation of The Arts into her programs with adults as well as children. Yonemura forges a new paradigm of the teacher educator as a human service professional at the same time blending this into today’s mindset of student testing and teacher accountability.
