Book Review: Minds in Motion: A Kinesthetic Approach to Teaching Elementary Curriculum by Susan Griss
Summary: 5 Stars
In a No-Child-Left-Behind era we hear many teachers say they have little or no time for art. Dance teacher Susan Griss reminds us that dance can be used as a useful teaching tool across all curricula to improve students understanding and to help the teacher assess that understanding as well as to get students to solve problems together and assess for themselves. She has suggestions for those teachers who might not be comfortable with dancing themselves and offers specific lessons that a teacher can use in math, science, social studies, language, reading and the other arts. Griss's clear and thoughtful writing can leave the reader believing that dance is an essential for the classroom.
