DANA CARLISLE KLETCHKA and B. STEPHEN CARPENTER, II, EDITORS
Professional Development in Art Museums: Strategies of Engagement Through Contemporary Art
explores the research and practice of professional development for
preK-12 teachers in art museums, with emphasis on curricular
possibilities, conceptual considerations, historical precedents,
learner-centered teaching, critical teaching strategies, and communities
of practice. Three sections fill this book with examples, strategies,
and possibilities for educators interested in enriching teaching and
learning in conversation with the art and issues of our times.
In this innovative anthology, co-editors Dana Carlisle Kletchka and B.
Stephen Carpenter, II have compiled translations and examinations of
theory and practice at the intersection of collaborative professional
development, art museums, and contemporary art. To this end, a diverse
group of art educators and art museum educators add to a growing body of
knowledge about the purposeful reflections and dialogues, inspiring
curricula, and innovative pedagogies that inform professional
development experiences in art museum contexts.

“This book has all the raw material to foster a thorough
reconsideration of how museums educators and teachers are prepared to
work together. The chapters are diverse, reflecting the ideas of museum
practitioners, scholars, and others; their content is well informed
through research, evaluation, and the latest ideas in theory and
practice.”
