Employing a tool such as Bloom's Taxonomy aids instructors in creating assignments that fulfill high-order concerns in the art-writing classroom. Because writing is one way for would-be artists to shape ideas and create complex thoughts, the art-writing classroom, as a precursor to the art world, challenges students to perform at high cognitive levels. Pedagogy employed in art-writing classrooms across the curriculum allows for criticality that results in sophisticated reasoning.","PeriodicalId":53876,"journal":{"name":"Teaching Artist Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2019-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15411796.2019.1595971","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48850379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In looking at policy asks, a question comes up as to how a culture change can be funded that can allow restorative practices to thrive in communities. The practice of storytelling sets valuable foundations for how restorative practices can thrive in groups on a microlevel while moving communities at-large toward potentials of social transformation. By examining transformational justice and the deconstruction of anti-Blackness in communities, best practices that form storytelling development, and their relationship to the current state of identity politics, we can find new ways to see restorative practices and their ability to grow within communities.","PeriodicalId":53876,"journal":{"name":"Teaching Artist Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2018-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15411796.2018.1535645","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47476646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
