Theories of visual development and artistic behavior in the adolescent and young adult; materials, resources, and processes for teaching art; classroom management, computer- assisted instruction, and integrated technology. Course Description: These lecture/seminar courses examine a variety of theories, practices, and competencies expected of art teachers. Theories for visual development and artistic behavior in the child will be discussed. In addition, materials, resources, and assessment/evaluation processes of teaching art will be explored. Attention will be given to art experiences that accommodate special needs and students of cultural diversity. This syllabus is designed to cover the content of both Elementary and Secondary Art Education methods. The design allows the two courses to be taught in an integrated manner by one instructor or as two distinct courses by two instructors. It parallels the content of the co-listed undergraduate Elementary and Secondary Art Education methods courses. Graduate students must complete additional assignments.

4 Assessment16 Candidate Professional Dispositions and Responsibilities CANDIDATE ASSIGNMENTS: It is the responsibility of the candidate to make sure all assignments are turned in at the beginning of the class on the date it is due. If an assignment is late, points will be taken off the total score earned for the assignment. Numerical score for each assignment will be marked on the documents or on the scoring rubrics for the assignments. COURSE EVALUATIONS: Each course component score is calculated by dividing earned component points by the possible total component points=quotient, then by multiplying the Quotient of each score by the component weight=product. Example: Earned Component Score- 20, Possible Component Score- 30 Component Weight- Course Component Score: 20 30 =.67 (Quotient) x = 10.05 (Product) The total score of the course components is then calculated by adding the Product of each course component= Total Course Sum.

Cheating includes but is not limited to, such acts as stealing or altering testing instrument; falsifying the identity of persons for any academic purposes; offering, giving, or receiving unauthorized assistance on an examination, quiz, or other written or oral record. Plagiarism is the presentation of written or oral material in a manner which conceals the true source of documentary material; or the representation of material which uses hypotheses, conclusions, evidence, data, or the like, in a way that the student appears to have done work which she/he did not, in fact do *(The Pathfinder, Frostburg State University).
5 PROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR: These courses adhere to the University disruptive student policy. In addition, teacher candidates are expected to demonstrate dispositions of professional educators. They must be dependable in matters such as attendance, punctuality, and responsibility. They must demonstrate attitudes and behaviors consistent with professional conduct and reflect a seriousness of intent in learning to teach. Teacher candidates are held accountable for their actions and are expected to be respectful of all individuals. ATTENDANCE: As per department policy, class attendance is mandatory. Candidates are responsible for material missed due to absence or tardiness. An emergency and illness are the only acceptable reasons for being late or missing a class. Absences and tardiness will cause your final course score to be lower and possibly your grade as well.
