:
Part I examines the assessment of content, teaching, and outcomes in schools; these issues are fully debated in separate sections, while the particular difficulties of evaluating museum art education programs are discussed in unprecedented detail in Part II. The strength of the book is derived from the wisdom and experience of leading art education authorities from the United States, Canada, England, Germany, the Netherlands, and Australia, offsetting the parochialism of a single national perspective.
"Overviews by distinguished scholars, well-written critical commentaries and summations, and authors’ rejoinders combine to convey a sense of lively scholarly debate and engagement with key professional issues."
