The elementary Pre-practicum course offers a supervised field-based experience in a PreK-8 visual art classroom setting in a public school, for a determined number of hours per week. Students develop abilities for an active engagement with students and practice elemental teaching skills. Students must pass components of Gateway I in CFA AR586: Child Growth and Development and CFA AR 559: Contemporary Issues in Art Education to begin their practicums. Students enroll concurrently the three-credit CFA A6655: Elementary Methods in Art Education.
