Arting and Writing to Transform Education: An Integrated Approach for Culturally and Ecologically Responsive Pedagogy
By Meleanna Meyer, Miki Maeshiro, and Anna Sumida
Published by Equinox Publishing

This book introduces a theoretically motivated and classroom tested, culturally responsive approach to the education of children that teaches them how to see and describe their world – both the natural world around them and their own culture and identity – through linking the media of art and language, considered as parallel creative-expressive processes of arting (representation in visual images) and writing (representation in words). Developed in a collaboration by three Hawaii educators, the curriculum integrates knowledge and practices in literacy and culture, art and science, with a goal of creating a transformative educational experience for every child, building from the students’ home language and culture.
