Teaching Isnt Perhaps as Scientific as We LikeBy John RobinsonI read this book for a graduate class; but it was likely one I would have read for my own enlightenment as well. Eisner takes a much more holistic view of education and teaching in this tome; and offers perhaps an alternative to those who would reduce our profession to just test scores and numerical data. "Education is the process of learning how to invent yourself;" writes Eisner. It is a much more than inputs and outputs. Eisner calls education a "mind-altering device" and with that; education becomes something that transforms lives; not just test scores. This book is a must read for educators looking for a different perspective of teaching and education that has a basis in arts education. Powerful as well as transforming!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Must read for art teachers and anyone who wishes to advocate for the artsBy SarahAs an art teacher I know that art is essential in life and in schools. In fact; it has always felt so obvious that I was sometimes tongue-tied when I tried to explain it to friends and family. Eisner puts words and critical thinking to what I have experienced as a teacher; and I am a better advocate for the arts in education having read this book. The Arts and the Creation of Mind was part of my assigned reading for grad school; and I have kept it close ever since. Highly recommend for anyone who teaches art and wishes to advocate for it in schools and beyond.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Must read for all EducatorsBy Sally D. BaileyFantastic book that clearly explains why the arts need to be included in all education -- without the arts it is hard to learn how to think critically -- among many other abilities.
