Pre-service teachers will become familiar with the skills necessary to implement an effective arts program in the primary school environment and will be prepared to plan, teach, assess and report on student learning. Pre-service teachers will develop an appreciation of the impact arts education can have on children, and consider contemporary ways to foster their creativity.
