Arts and Humanities: Guidelines and Recommendations for Developing Balanced Programs in the Arts and Humanities in Pennsylvania Secondary Schools. Turning the Tide: An Agenda for Excellence in Pennsylvania Public Schools.
Erickson, Mary, Comp.
These guidelines are designed to integrate arts and humanities into the secondary curriculum by recommending the subject areas to be included, the classroom environment to be fostered, instructional approaches, possible courses, and methods of implementation at all levels from that of the teacher to the state department of education. The recommendations for courses include traditional arts and humanities courses, such as American Cultural Studies and Art I, as well as ideas for courses combining the two areas and new courses. Topics for suggested courses include revolution in the 20th century, philosophy of arts and life, television as communication, the humanity and aesthetics of science, arts history in the making, the life cycle through the arts, and a hands-on arts course dealing with art history. Brief descriptions of these courses are also given. Also included are specific regulations for meeting the state guidelines, the Bureau of Curriculum and Instruction Guideline for Fractional Courses, and a sample planned course format. (IS)
