ECH ED 4101 - Integrating the Arts into Early Childhood Education

Institution:

Temple University

Subject:

Description:

This course is a joint project between the College of Education and the Boyer College of Music and Dance. It is designed to provide an overview of the role and the significance of the arts in the education of children from Pre-K through fourth grade. Pre-service teachers will be exposed to art experiences that support standards, increase learning of content, teach basic aesthetic principles, and help them learn specific techniques and ideas. Through numerous hands-on experiences, students will start with their own skills and perspectives as creators of art and then move to explore the power and potential of the arts to reach children in new and effective ways. Students will be introduced to three art forms --dance, music, and the visual arts-- and their unique histories and pedagogies. Students will learn from disciplinary experts in each of these three domains, who also have expertise in engaging young children in developmentally appropriate ways. NOTE: Background clearances needed.
