Eastern Michigan University Art Department Response to Recommendations from State of Michigan Board of Education Review Panel Regarding Programs to Prepare

Teachers of Visual Arts Education (LQ)
http://www.emich.edu/coe/accreditation/art_ed/index.html

 

 

1.    When will the replacement class to EDMT 330 (media/technology) be available to candidates?

       The new art education (media/technology) course, which will replace the current requirement EDMT 330, “Instructional Applications of Media and Technology,” is being offered during the fall semester of 2004 as ART 379, “Technology in Art Education,” a special topics course.  The necessary paperwork is currently being processed to add the course to the art education requirements listed in the undergraduate catalog.  

 

2.    When will the revised course EDPS 340 “Introduction to Assessment and Evaluation,” (for art ed majors only) be offered?

The revised course, EDPS 340, “Introduction to Assessment and Evaluation,” will be available in the winter semester of 2005.

 

3.    Will art education faculty teach these two courses?

Professor of Art Education, Dr. Guey-Meei Yang, will be teaching the new art education course, ART 379, “Technology in Art Education.”  The Art Education faculty have worked closely with Professor of Educational Psychology and Teacher Education Department faculty member, Dr. Nelson Maylone, to tailor a section of EDPS 340, “Introduction to Assessment and Evaluation” specifically to the needs of art education students.  Art education faculty will continue to play an integral part in the maintenance  and development of both these courses.

 

4.    Please submit syllabi for these two courses.

A syllabus for the new ART 379, “Technology in Art Education” course is available through the web site: [http://www.emich.edu/coe/accreditation/art_ed/syllabi/ART379.pdf].

A syllabus for the revised EDPS 340, “Introduction to Assessment and Evaluation” course is available through the web site: [http://www.emich.edu/coe/accreditation/art_ed/syllabi/EDPS340art.pdf].

 

5.    The majority of the field experiences seem to be in secondary classrooms with the possibility of opting out of elementary experiences.  How will the institution ensure that candidates with this K-12 endorsement will be prepared to teach in elementary and secondary classrooms?

EMU visual arts education students have been required to have field experiences in secondary classrooms through the FETE courses 302 and 402.  Under the proposed changes,  to ensure that all students will have field experiences at the elementary level,  students will be required to take FETE 301, “Field Experience II” (elementary) in place of 302.  In addition, students will be advised to complete half of the remaining forty hours of observation/participation in elementary art classrooms.

 

6.    In EMU response #9, you indicate that candidates complete their field experiences in secondary art classrooms. 

EMU response #9 was in reference to the question, “Do candidates complete art education field experiences in secondary art classrooms?” from the Review Panel’s first set of recommendations, to which the answer was “yes.”  However, the above  statement (under #5) regarding the broader concern of having field experiences  in both secondary and elementary art classrooms further clarifies  that students will now have experiences in both.

      

7.    Does this refer to student teaching as well?  If so, candidates are not receiving the elementary student teaching experience needed for this K-12 endorsement.

Students will continue, as always, to be required to complete teaching experience in both elementary and secondary art classroom settings.  They must complete both EDUC 496, “Student Teaching-Elementary” (6 credit hours) and EDUC 497, “Student Teaching-Secondary” (6 credit hours).
