Programs for Show Buyers and Consumers Increase Craft Activity

摘要

Anecdotal feedback and a multi-faceted research project conducted by HIA in 1999 indicate that many educators use crafts to enhance the teaching process. HIA is seeking to expand the usage of crafts by educators in the elementary school classroom on a day to day basis. "The concept of using crafts to help students learn through hands on activities isn't new," says Susan Brandt, HIA's assistant executive director/director of communications. "We want to increase crafts usage and not just in the art class."
