ARED 4410:Intercultural Curriculum Model

3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: Admission to the educational preparation program (EPP), current teacher liability insurance, and a currently issued GaPSC Pre-Service Certification
This course is designed to prepare prospective art teachers to be able to plan and organize effective art programs and curricula, to explore innovative and exemplary art programs and materials, to assess art learning, and to develop a rationale and strategy for articulating and promoting a quality art program. In addition, this course involves an exposure to art education literature that focuses on diversity issues in historical and contemporary contexts (including ethnicity, race, socioeconomic status, gender, exceptionalities, language, religion, sexual orientation, and geography). Theories and models of contemporary art education practice are explored. Students also participate in a clinical practice activity in a partner school, involving the cooperative creation, delivery and assessment of an original art curriculum unit.

Notes: This course will include a 40-hours of field experience coordinated by the Center for Educational Placements and Partnerships (CEPP).
