L.EDU 234 - Curriculum & Instruction in Visual Arts

Credits: 1

Collaboration between elementary teachers that are specialists (physical education, art, music, theater, and dance) and generalists is essential for establishing a learning environment that reinforces and deepens the growth and development of the whole child. This course introduces students preparing to become general elementary classroom teachers to a) the content standards and curriculum essentials in the visual and performing arts (music, theater, and dance), b) the important connections between expressions of art and culture, and c) how the creation and/or performance of art can lead to more meaningful learning. This course is taken concurrently with L.EDU 232 and L.EDU 233 in order to provide students with the opportunity to plan and apply integrated lessons.
