This course is designed to assist candidates in understanding an approach to teaching in which students construct and demonstrate knowledge of various content areas through art, music, and drama.

Candidates will connect the arts to basic reading skills, literacy, writing, mathematics, cognitive skills, motivation, and social behavior through a series of lesson plans. An iPad is required for this course. Clinical Experience required. Clinical Experience placement requests will be communicated by the Director of Clinical Experiences.
