Methods for integrating the fine arts with the elementary curriculum will be developed, modeled, studied, and practiced. 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. Candidates must request a placement by the deadline and complete the experience in the assigned placement. Transportation to and from placement is the responsibility of the candidate.
