Description
A study of curriculum with an emphasis on the practical application of principles of instruction on unit and lesson planning specific to the design of visual arts instruction at the Pre-Kindergarten to grade 3 levels. Teacher candidates plan a unit based on the Ohio Learning Standards in fine arts for visual art, deliver lessons in both school and micro-teaching contexts, and apply principles of measurement and evaluation to the design of a variety of assessment instruments. Principles are introduced by college faculty on campus, and fieldwork involves instruction in and application of current practices in schools. Requires additional hours in a Pre-K to grade 3 placement, BCI clearance, NEA/OEA student membership, and membership in the Specialized Professional Association.
