This subject builds upon the theory and practice of teaching Visual Arts and Design in the context of Australian/Victorian Curricula and Frameworks. This subject provides Teacher Candidates with both the knowledge base and skills of professional practice, enabling them to effectively educate secondary school students (7-12) in Visual Arts and Design (Studio Practices and Pedagogies), and to work effectively within school contexts.
Teacher Candidates are supported to further their knowledge and skills related to curriculum content, best practice pedagogy and assessment introduced in Visual Arts and Design A1 as well as the application and management of these activities in classrooms. Framed through the Clinical Teaching Model, they are supported to adapt and apply this knowledge in lesson planning, including the selection and integration of teaching strategies and resources, including the effective and appropriate use of ICT, to meet the specific needs of students from diverse backgrounds, and to engage students in their learning.
The portfolio-based assessment tasks in this subject will further support the development of Teacher Candidates’ understanding of contemporary theories and pedagogies in Visual Arts and Design education and their relationship with content and pedagogical knowledge, as they synthesise specific skills in developing, sequencing and delivering lessons within programs.

On completion of this subject, Teacher Candidates should be able to:
- Critically reflect on research into how students learn through an emerging understanding of Visual Arts and Design (Studio Practices and Pedagogies) curriculum and theory and implications for effective teaching practice.
