Educators at all levels want their students to develop habits of self-directed learning and critical problem-solving skills that encourage ownership and growth. This book offers both a comprehensive framework for understanding student-directed learning and concrete pedagogical strategies to implement student-direct learning activities in school. In addition, research-based assessment strategies provide educators with evidence of student mastery and achievement.

The authors who introduced the concepts of ""Teaching for Artistic Behavior"" (TAB) and ""choice-based art education"" have completely revised and updated their original, groundbreaking bestseller. This second edition will support those who are new to choice-based authentic art education, as well as experienced teachers looking to go deeper with this curriculum.
