ART ED 461 - Student Teaching in the Middle and Senior High School

Course Description: This course is designed to provide a forum for discussion of student teaching goals, problems and experiences.  Students should gather information relevant to student teaching at either the elementary or secondary level.   Students who have special needs that may affect their ability to benefit from their educational experience are asked to disclose those needs to me as early as possible so I can arrange appropriate accommodation.

Methods of Instruction:  Class discussions, individual research, guest speakers, field trips.  Please keep cell phones and beepers turned off during seminar.

Assignments:

Resume (25%)
Philosophy of Teaching Art (25%)
Teaching Portfolio (25%): This is a collection of learning plans that you prepare for your student teaching experience to be kept in a three-ring binder that is due towards the end of the semester.  Also include your resume, philosophy of teaching art, images of your studentsÍ artwork and images of your artwork. 
Attendance (25%):  Class attendance and punctuality at each seminar are mandatory.  More than two absences will lower your grade.  You are required to make up all absences in APS schools.  All absences must be reported to the Art Education Program by calling 277-4112 (leave a message), your Supervisor, and your cooperating teacher.
