“This book offers a truly integrative approach to educating and engaging with our diverse youth. From practical teaching applications to lived experiences, the authors have unleashed ’real stories’ and teaching methods that promote active learning in classrooms. The text offers intentional and compelling examples of how educators can elevate their students’ voices and their understanding of the world around them while promoting a creative growth mindset. This book is highly recommended as a teaching resource for classroom teachers and for the preparation of K–12 preservice educators.”

“Arts-Based Pedagogies is an artistic achievement with significant technical merit. The examples and insights throughout the book are highly meaningful for educators and artists in many contexts. This culturally relevant book provides insights for effective teaching, mentoring, and artistic creativity, leading to innovation and exploration of new frontiers of artistic pedagogy.”
—Dr. Debra Coffey, Associate Professor, Elementary and Early Childhood Education, Kennesaw State University

“This edited book weaves together theories, practices, various arts, and a diversity of voices from practitioners and leaders in the field, to offer insights into creative learning through integrated arts approaches. It is an important and informative resource for educators in K–12 Canadian classrooms, and beyond, who are interested in engaging in arts-based pedagogical practices that are more creative, embodied, meaningful, and anti-oppressive in nature. This book is timely!”
—Dr. Kathy Mantas, Professor, Faculty of Education and Professional Studies, Nipissing University

“Arts-Based Pedagogies is an invitation to the many rich possibilities of teaching through and across the arts in a truly interdisciplinary way. A book to reflect on with each new class, and share with colleagues as we honour Black, Indigenous, and Queer experiences from leading educators in the fields of visual art, dance, drama, and music.”
