The Fertile Ground Framework, outlined in this book guides a teacher's curricular decision-making by uniting the middle level concept and the National Core Arts Standards. The framework emphasizes the developmental needs and cultural identities of particular students and provides a lens through which the teacher can support these students' unique needs.
