III. Program Experiences

The Art Education program supports the College of Education’s theme by nurturing individuals to become reflective decision-makers. Reflection is the focus of course activities and is the primary means by which candidates integrate course experiences with Kentucky performance standards, College of Education Dispositions and the candidates’ own experiences, values, and beliefs about education. At the program’s beginning, candidates are asked to reflect upon their own values and beliefs about education and seek integration of those with the COE Dispositions through assignments such as philosophy statements, growth plans, field work and other reflective assignments. This process continues as candidates develop portfolio items to reflect their growth and understanding of educational principles leading to the program’s end with the eligibility portfolio as a summative evaluation of their knowledge and demonstration of their skills according to Kentucky performance standards. Throughout, program course work is designed to require planning, instruction, assessing and reflecting at increasing levels of expertise. At admission to teacher education, candidates are interviewed by faculty and asked to respond about the COE dispositions and the Kentucky Code of Ethics. As program policy, candidates follow curriculum guide sheets, MAP reports, and confer with advisors to help them to monitor their own progress and prepare them for the continuous self-assessment required of professional educators.

Students pursuing a degree in art with teacher certification follow a program of study within the Department of Art. The Department of Art is a fully accredited member of the National Association of Schools of Art and Design whose mission includes the preparation of professional artists and teachers of art. Students may select a program of study leading to the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), the Bachelor of Arts (BA), or the Bachelor of Science (BS) degree. Each of the three degree options with teacher certification require competencies in general studies (“University Studies”), teacher training, and an undergraduate program in art, including art history and art education, as well as studio art. The curriculum attends significantly to historical knowledge, to analysis and evaluation of artworks, to art concepts and vocabulary, and to accomplishment in the production of art in several media. Upon successful completion of degree requirements and application for the Kentucky Certificate of Eligibility, candidates are able to enter the Kentucky Internship Program for the first year of teaching art in grades primary through twelve. The Art Education program is jointly administered in the Department of Art within the College of Humanities and Fine Arts and the College of Education.

The Kentucky teacher performance standards are integrated throughout core courses, and methods courses as demonstrated in the table below. Candidates are introduced (I) to the standards in early coursework where they gain knowledge of the role performance standards play in becoming reflective decision-makers. As coursework progresses, the standards are applied (A) in lesson plans and other instructional activities. At the end of the program, during student teaching, candidates are evaluated (E) for each standard in an eligibility portfolio. The portfolio is scored by two faculty members with content and instructional skill in the appropriate content area. The Kentucky Code of Ethics is presented four times to candidates; during orientation to teacher education, orientation to student teaching, the admission to teacher education interview, and during the student teaching interview. Regarding instructional technology, instructors use web-based program such as Blackboard to supplement and enhance face-to-face instruction. This program is available for alternative certification to individuals who are hired by a district, have a certifiable degree program, and have met all teacher education admission requirements. After a transcript review, a tailored course of studies is prescribed to qualify for certification along with a mentored teaching experience undertaken while employed by the school district. Following is a matrix that demonstrates the integration of Kentucky New Teacher Standards into the art education coursework:

B. KERA Initiatives

The KERA Initiatives are integrated throughout the Art Education program in a variety of ways. Kentucky Core Content is taught in university general studies courses and in content discipline courses for majors, minors, and areas. This is evidenced in the matrices that align university content courses with Kentucky Core Content 4.1, Program of Studies, and Academic Expectations. A second matrix demonstrates how Kentucky curriculum tools are presented to candidates in professional education courses. During introductory courses the tools are presented as informational (I). Later, in teaching strategies and methods courses, they are applied (A) in the lesson planning and instructional processes. During student teaching, the candidates’ competencies in the use of the tools during instruction are evaluated (E).
