Poetry and Pedagogy across the Lifespan: Disciplines, Classrooms, Contexts by Sandra Lee KleppeEnglish | PDF,EPUB | 2018 | 387 Pages | ISBN : 3319904329 | 4.57 MB
This book explores poetry and pedagogy in practice across the lifespan. Poetry is directly linked to improved literacy, creativity, personal development, emotional intelligence, complex analytical thinking and social interaction: all skills that are crucial in contemporary educational systems. However, a narrow focus on STEM subjects at the expense of the humanities has led educators to deprioritize poetry and to overlook its interdisciplinary, multi-modal potential.
