ART 486 Stdt Tch in El & Sec Schools

This culminating field course is a one-semester, full-time experience that includes placements at two levels - elementary and secondary/middle or secondary/high. During this course, students must master and expand upon the teaching techniques introduced in ART 475, and develop a significant, content-rich, Standards-based art curriculum for both the elementary and secondary settings. Each placement is comprised of an initial week of observation in the classroom, research into the school and surrounding community, and investigation of the objectives and skills for each of the courses students will be teaching. Students are required to produce lesson plans for each class they teach and keep a daily self-assessment journal. During the first placement students will practice the three edTPA tasks, then submit a formal edTPA for the second placement. Assessment of planned lessons and teaching skills are provided by the College Supervisor and Cooperating Teacher during all segments of this course. Each placement fulfills 250 hours of contact time with students in a school setting. Some options for part-time, extended student teaching available, with the approval of the professor. Prerequisites: ART 475 and 476. ART 486 MUST be taken together with ART 477. Fall, Spring
