Corequisite: CFAAR592 - The Pre-Practicum Seminar accompanies students through their semester of pre-practicum fieldwork experiences in PreK- 12 schools, providing structure and opportunities for growth and reflection. Students develop increasing skills and strategies for best practice in the art classroom, examining the visual art curriculum and its design as a vertical and horizontal sequence of learning aligned with the State standards. Students begin the initial phase of a curriculum document, learning to generate a rationale for thematic research, developing a teaching philosophy, addressing 21st-century student needs, and providing adaptations for the inclusion of all students in art classes. CFA AR 591 is a co-requisite with CFA AR 592.
