This subject is designed to allow Teacher Candidates to develop skills necessary to teach a range of ‘advanced’ Visual Arts and Design disciplines in secondary classrooms. Working as a member of a team, Teacher Candidates will develop learning schemata for selected art disciplines through the design, implementation and evaluation of workshops in those disciplines, and produce teaching resources in the form of a digital portfolio, relevant to these activities.
Through active participation in these activities, Teacher Candidates will develop a repertoire of skills and acquire a wide range of potential classroom strategies, relevant to these disciplines, including how to personalise the learning experience of students in a studio classroom.Teacher Candidates will develop knowledge of and strategies to teach Visual Arts and Design VCE Study Designs.
Students will contribute to the development of a collaborative Victorian Curriculum F-10 and VCE digital resource. Practical issues concerning teaching art and design in the studio classroom will be covered through seminars, workshops and experiential learning including how visual and digital literacies, literacy and numeracy learning can be embedded in learning programs, and also how the arts develop particular understandings in these areas.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, Teacher Candidates should be able to:
Graduate Standards refers to the Graduate-level Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.
