Ordinary Gifted Children

The Power and Promise of Individual Attention

By: Jessica Hoffmann Davis

This is the remarkable story of the Hoffmann School for Individual Attention, where the principal believed in a diverse, challenging, and challenged group of studentswith extraordinary results. With a definition of gifted that included all children, Ann Hoffmann embraced students that other schools had failed, and she helped them not just to learn, but to learn to love learning. Written with candor and humor by renowned arts educator (and Ann Hoffmanns daughter) Jessica Hoffmann Davis, this portrait will resonate with anyone who has known or been a champion of children. Ann Hoffmanns example will inspire and delight the reader, reminding us of what matters most in education and that if we love what we do, anything is possible.

Framing Education as Art

The Octopus Has a Good Day

By: Jessica Hoffmann Davis

This book champions the arts as essential to the K-12 educative process. Exploring apparently oppositional approaches to the arts and their role in education, it provides both an overview of arts learning in and out of school as well as a set of artful lenses through which to regard non-arts teaching and learning. With strong implications for practice, the work celebrates inquiry and multiple perspectives as it explores a range of reflections on art, artistry, artists, art education, and the methods and results of arts-related educational research. Featuring discussions and illustrations of selected works of art by children and professional artists, the text: offers practical ideas for thinking of the arts as a model for improving teaching and learning in schools; reaches beyond arts educators and advocates to include those who have no experience in the arts; includes a broad vista of settings for arts teaching and learning, including non-arts classrooms, schools that focus on the arts, community art centers, and art museums; and examines lessons from urban community art centers with a history of working successfully with, and providing safe havens for, disenfranchised students.
