Course Outcomes
In this course, students will learn how to use routines, pacing and lessons that model an optimal classroom environment. Participants also discover new ways to build positive relationships with students through expected behaviors and interventions. Plus, you’ll be equipped with specific classroom management strategies for using group, individual student and teacher workspaces.
Throughout this course you will:
- Discover how to pace the yearly curriculum and classroom lessons to use arts integration in order to meet the needs of all learners.
- Design a plan for the use of group, individual student, and teacher workspaces, including the use of transitional spaces in the classroom as a means for teaching students to use materials properly.
- Develop a set of procedural methods for building positive relationships with students which reinforce positive behaviors, and include methods for interventions when necessary. These will support the use of arts-integrated instruction in the classroom.
- Select strategies for teaching arts-integrated lessons for whole classes and small groups, as well as for leading students in independent arts-integrated learning.
