In 2001, Lawrence Erlbaum Associates published CAPE's book Renaissance in the Classroom: Arts Integration and Meaningful Learning, edited by Gail Burnaford, Ph.D., CAPE advisor and Professor at Northwestern University; Cynthia Weiss, CAPE advisor and teaching artist; and Arnold Aprill, CAPE's Executive Director. Two hundred seventy-two participants in CAPE partnerships artists, teachers, principals and students wrote this book, based on their experiences in developing an arts partnership. This book invites readers to consider the possibilities for learning and growth when artists and arts educators come into a classroom and work with teachers to engage students in drama, dance, visual art, music, and media arts. It is a nutsand-bolts guide to arts integration, across the curriculum in grades K-12, describing how students, teachers and artists get started with arts integration, work through classroom curriculum involving the arts, and go beyond the typical "unit" to engage in the arts throughout the school year. The framework is based on six years of arts integration at CAPE. |

Of primary interest to K-12 classroom teachers, arts specialists, and visiting artists who work with young people in schools or community arts organizations, this book is also highly relevant and useful for policymakers, arts partnerships, administrators, and parents.
