What Should the Art Education Program Include?

Quality art teacher preparation programs are designed to provide
students
with strong backgrounds of study in art education and in the visual
arts.
Course work is structured to develop expertise in studio art, art
history,
art criticism, and aesthetics. Art teacher candidates receive
extensive
training to deliver comprehensive instruction to help students make,
study,
interpret, and evaluate works of art.

Students spend appropriate time learning in foundation areas,
including
educational philosophy, history, and psychology. They are provided
with the
knowledge, skills and experiences in methods necessary for the
development
of
curriculum, instruction, and assessment appropriate for various
applications
and levels of art education. They also acquire the skills to use
technology
in these processes.

Opportunities for classroom visitation, visits to other educational
institutions, and internships exist in addition to the student
teaching
experience. These experiences are designed to allow students to gain
experience with diverse populations and school settings. Throughout
the
program of study, practical skills needed to organize and maintain a
comprehensive art classroom and to manage student behavior are
developed.

Teacher education programs in the visual arts prepare students with
knowledge
of historical developments and prevailing theories of art education.
Students demonstrate an understanding of emotional and cognitive
characteristics of children, adolescents, and young adults in relation
to
their artistic and aesthetic development. They recognize interests,
abilities, and needs of children and young people and use this
information
to
make instructional decisions. They apply theories of curriculum and
instruction as they reflect on and refine their own practice of art
education.

* Does the Art Teacher Preparation Program Focus on Content of the
Visual
Arts?

* Does the Art Teacher Preparation Program Provide Teacher Candidates
with
a
Thorough Knowledge of the Theory and Practice of Art Education?

What Should Art Education Faculty Know and Do?

The responsibility of preparing teacher candidates for the visual arts
largely remains with art education faculty who work within
certification
programs in higher education. Faculty are employed within
institutions
which
vary in terms of size, autonomy, academic orientation, and
demographics.
Faculty workloads vary in terms of expectations for teaching
responsibilities, research and/or creative activities, and
professional
service commitments.

Teacher education candidates for the visual arts must be taught by
competent
art education faculty who hold advanced degrees and whose backgrounds
reflect
professional and practical experiences with learners in a variety of
educational settings from early childhood to adult. The faculty
should
model
excellence in teaching and be committed to the improvement of art
teaching
and the qualities reflected in this document.

* Is the Art Education Faculty Thoroughly Competent in the Practice of
Art
Education in Order to Prepare Future Teachers of Art?

* Does the Faculty Responsible for Preparing Teachers of Art Remain
Active
in the Art Education Profession?

* Does the Art Education Faculty Create a Supportive and Collaborative
Learning Environment that Prepares Successful Teacher Candidates?

* Does the Art Education Faculty Actively Engage in Scholarly Inquiry
within
Art Education?

* Does the Art Education Faculty Demonstrate That They Are Part of a
Community of Professionals?
