There are three possible options for undergraduate students interested in teaching in the arts. To determine the best option for your career goals, consult with Dr. Dewhurst in Shepard 303D.<\/p>\n
Students who are set on teaching in a traditional school setting (i.e. public, private, charter, etc.); students interested in teaching in alternative settings (i.e. museums, community center, etc.).<\/p>\n
Students must complete all Art Major requirements with a Concentration in Teaching Art. In addition, when they have completed around 80 credits, they should apply to the School of Education for a Minor in Art Education (this is a formal application process including letters of recommendation, an entrance test, an essay, and an interview).<\/p>\n
– The only way a student can be certified via the state is if they have a Minor in Art Education through the School of Education.<\/p>\n
– Students must submit a formal application to the School of Education available from the Art Education Office or from the School of Education\u2019s Office of Student Services in NAC 3\/223.<\/p>\n
– This option includes student teaching and therefore may take longer than 4 years to complete.<\/p>\n
– The School of Education requires students to have a GPA of above 2.7.<\/p>\n
Students who are interested in teaching in non-school settings; students who are curious about education, but not totally sure they want to teach in a school.<\/p>\n
Students must complete all Art Major requirements with a Concentration in Teaching Art.<\/p>\n
– Students who select this option will not be certified by the state and therefore are not eligible to teach in a public school.<\/p>\n
– They may be able to teach in a charter\/private school depending on the strength of their art, experience, other skills\u2014but in the current climate, even this would be difficult.<\/p>\n
– Students would be eligible to teach in a museum, community center, or alternative learning space.<\/p>\n
– Students do not complete student teaching.<\/p>\n
– Students do not take the state-mandated tests.<\/p>\n
Students who want to specialize in teaching in grades 1-6 in a school setting; students whose primary interest is in education, particularly for younger students- with a side interest in the arts.<\/p>\n
Students complete all Childhood or Bi-Lingual Education Major requirements that include selecting a \u201cCo-Major\u201d from a list of options provided by the School of Education. When Co-Majoring in Art, they must choose either Studio Art or Art History and then complete the 42 credits of Studio Art or Art History courses required of Art Majors.<\/p>\n
– Students should NOT choose the Teaching in Art Concentration.<\/p>\n
– Students are advised primarily through the School of Education (for questions regarding state requirements, certification, and student teaching), but may seek secondary advisement from Art Department faculty related to their Art courses.<\/p>\n
