Science Teachers Who Draw: The Red Is Always There is an invaluable resource for teachers, teacher educators, and qualitative researchers. This is a book which asks, "What happens when science teachers adopt an aesthetic approach to inquiry, using drawing and visual thinking to communicate deep understanding?" This narrative inquiry was driven by quantitative studies which reveal a robust positive correlation between students' test scores in reading and science, beginning at the middle school level. When the data are disaggregated, there exists a vast achievement gap for low income and English language learners. This book is the true story of the academic turnarounds of previously struggling science students when teachers use arts practices to communicate meaning. By choosing to ditch the safety of lectures and adopt more aesthetic ways of teaching, science educators become performing artists themselves, producing and directing the creation of engaged, jointly produced, and artful learning. In all ways, students learn that art and science are connected as expressions of human creativity. --
