A couple of years ago, the education staff at the DMA decided to form a monthly reading group to keep up with the many books and articles that relate to teaching and learning, works of art, and art museums. Since then, we’ve met once a month to discuss a reading over lunch.
Here are a few of my favorite books from which we’ve read. I hope that you find something interesting to add to your summer reading list!
Play: How it Shapes the Brain, Opens the Imagination, and Invigorates the Soul by Stuart Brown, M.D.
Peak: How Great Companies Get Their Mojo from Maslow by Chip Conley
Art as Experience by John Dewey
Tell Me More: Listening to Learners Explain by Eleanor Duckworth
A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers will Rule the Future by Daniel Pink
The Wisdom of Crowds by James Surowiecki
Evocative Objects: Things We Think With by Sherry Turkle
