"Real Lives Now: Narratives of Art Educators and 21st Century Learning" showcases the stories and day-to-day lives of contemporary art teachers. The featured educators--including several art teachers, an art museum educator, and an art supervisor--have a particular set of problems and opportunities within a particular locale, community, and educational environment. As a worthy follow-up to "Real Lives: Art Teachers and the Cultures of School" by Tom Anderson, the authors of this volume use narrative inquiry and field-based methods to highlight the lives and experiences of each educator.
