Folklorists and educators have long worked together to expand curricula through engagement with local knowledge and informal cultural arts-folk arts in education is a familiar rubric for these programs-but the unrealized potential here, for both the folklore scholar and the teacher, is large.Forward: How to begin to know what you didn't know / Bonnie Stone Sunstein -- " I didn't know what I didn't know: reciprocal pedagogy / Paddy Bowman -- A tale of discovery: folklorists and educators collaborate to create and implement the Louisiana voices educator's guide / Maida Owens with Eileen Engel -- Here at home: learning local-culture pedagogy through cultural tours / Anne Pryor [and others] -- Art at the threshold: folk artists in an urban classroom / Amanda Dargan -- From "show-me" traditions to "the show-me standards": teaching folk arts in Missouri classrooms / Lisa L.
