Now in its seventh edition, Merryl Goldberg's popular volume, Arts Integration, presents a comprehensive guide to integrating the arts throughout the K-12 curriculum, blending contemporary theory with classroom practice. Beyond teaching about arts education as a subject, the text explains how teachers may integrate the arts-literary, media, visual, and performing-throughout the subject curriculum, offering a wealth of strategies, techniques, and examples. Chapters explore assessment and the arts, engaging English Language Learners, using the arts to teach academic skills in science, math, and history-and more. Goldberg shows how arts integration develops children's creativity and critical thinking while also developing communication skills and fostering collaboration and community activism. New to the seventh edition are a new chapter on the arts and technology-both in theory and practice-and an expanded emphasis on social justice, along with brand new examples, case studies, and research in nearly every chapter. This text is ideal as a primer on arts integration and a foundational support for teaching, learning, and assessment, especially within the context of multicultural and multilingual classrooms.

Merryl Goldberg is Professor of Music at California State University San Marcos, USA.
