This course focuses on translating theory into practice in the art classroom in preparation for Clinical Practice. The graduate studio/seminar assignments allow students to create materials and practice methods common to the K-12 art classroom. Assignments focus on current concerns in the profession, such as discipline based arts education, multiculturalism, meeting the needs of a diverse student population, use of instructional technology and portfolio assessment. After students have taught and critiqued model lessons, they will move into a two-week clinical experience in public school. Prerequisites: Acceptance into the MAT graduate degree program or permission of the instructor. Three credit hours.
