Resources to explore

In my research of Art Education and Home-Schooling throughout this past semester, I have compiled a list of links and books to peruse. I am currently writing up a few reflection papers on the topic to submit to my professor. I am including my list here for your interest, too. Some of the books I have read, and many are on my to-do-list.

With Student-teaching approaching for next semester, I probably will be taking a short recess from research and developing the thesis project. The experience will demand most of my attention and time. I intend to continue the blog, though. I hope to add insights and reflections from the public-school teachers' perspective.

I hope this helps some people out. Here goes:
