In this issue, the authors take us

"back to school" in a number of ways.

That is, I see this collection of articles as inspiration to revisit our thinking? to go back to school?about several

issues, topics, conventions, contexts,

techniques, and theories in our field.

David Darts describes one way

to move sbciocultural issues and

concepts closer to the center of

the high school curriculum. Angela Eckhoff and Steven Guberman make a case for visual culture as an entry

into art history and art criticism discussions with elementary students.

Rebecca Gajda and Dorinne Dorfman describe the conception and ongoing success of an arts-based academy

within an existing high school and how it supports and encourages student learning, engagement, and

empowerment. Nancy Lampert reviews inquiry-based instructional

techniques designed to enhance critical thinking and offers ways to

encourage higher order thinking in art students. Eliza Pitri addresses possibili ties for conducting action research

in art education based on situated

learning, constructivist theory and

Reggio Emilia practice. Deborah K?ster helps us back to theories of multicultural education and implica tions for current practice in art educa

tion. In the Instructional Resources,

Lisa Vihos offers ideas about works of art based on bathrooms as rich sources of inspiration.

Correction

In the July 2006 issue of Art Education

(Volume 59, No. 4), on p. 22, the amount of a grant provided by "BARN AGAIN," affiliated with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, was incorrect and should be $1,000.00.

There is always so much to do to

prepare for the first day of school. I believe that the variety of concerns,

recommendations, and perspectives on art education offered in this issue reflects the vast array possibilities that accompany students, teachers,

and administrators as they return to

school each fall.

So, what are your plans for this school year? Are you ready to go "back to school"?
