    Student teaching is the culminating experience of the undergraduate Art Education program. It provides the student teacher with opportunities to observe professional art teachers on the advanced level and to participate instructionally in the art education programs of the schools. The student teaching semester is divided into two segments, one at the elementary level (K-6) and the other at the secondary level. These are interchange-able with the expectation of continued development of classroom management, teaching strategies, and instructional expertise. The student teacher is expected to plan and teach on both levels. The Practicum is a seminar, scheduled concurrently with Student Teaching; during the seminar, students discuss with the University supervisor teaching strategies, classroom management, application of theoretical models, and other pre-professional concerns.
