COURSE DETAILS
CATALOG COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course focuses on content knowledge and applications for art educators teaching students with disabilities.
Content includes current legal, educational, and therapeutic issues as they relate to teaching art to special
populations. Distinctions between art education and art therapy are discussed. This course includes field experiences
and proof of professional liability insurance is required prior to receiving a school placement.
PURPOSE/RATIONALE:
This course covers current legal, educational, and therapeutic issues as they relate to teaching art to special
populations. It is designed to prepare prospective art teachers for development of instructional materials and
implementation of effective teaching methods and management techniques for working with special populations.
This course will offer art education majors the field-specific knowledge and skills necessary to identify, develop, and
utilize effective instructional and management techniques based on the cognitive, emotional, and social needs of
special populations in the art classroom.
KNOWLEDGE BASE
ARED 4490 is derived from the guidelines established by the National Art Education Association, National
Association of Schools of Art and Design Standards for Art Education and the QCC standards for art education in
the state of Georgia. The writings of the Getty Center for Education in the Arts are also a major source of
1

ARED 4490
contemporary ideas, beliefs, and practices. Art education students will learn to modify and adjust instructional
methods and materials to the appropriate needs, abilities, and learning styles of all learners and will understand the
social, political, and cultural components, which affect the school environment within a global context.
Teacher development is generally recognized as a continuum that includes four phases: preservice, induction, inservice, renewal (Odell, Huling, and Sweeny, 2000). Just as Sternberg (1996) believes that the concept of expertise is
central to analyzing the teaching-learning process, the teacher education faculty at KSU believes that the concept of
expertise is central to preparing effective classroom teachers and teacher leaders. Researchers describe how during
the continuum phases teachers progress from being Novices learning to survive in classrooms toward becoming
Experts who have achieved elegance in their teaching. We, like Sternberg (1998), believe that expertise is not an
end-state but a process of continued development.
COURSE GOALS/OBJECTIVES:
The objectives and activities for this course are based primarily on a Disciplined Based Model for Art Education
(also known as Quality Based Model by the National Art Education Association). Based on these standards for
teacher education the goals of the course include development of skills in the following areas: utilizing art-based
materials and methods in the teaching of art criticism, art history, and aesthetics; working with various art media and
studio techniques in the classroom; managing the art classroom for special populations.
After completing the requirements for the course the Professional Learning Facilitator in Art Education will
be able to:
1.
Demonstrate knowledge of adapting methods and materials for teaching art criticism and aesthetics to special
populations.
2.
Demonstrate knowledge of adaptive methods and materials for teaching art history to special populations.
3.
Display knowledge of media techniques/effects and adaptations for teaching studio production activities to
special populations.
4.
Apply art education methods and utilize art materials to effectively enhance the learning of special populations
in the art classroom.
5.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK:
COLLABORATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF EXPERTISE IN
TEACHING AND LEARNING
The Professional Teacher Education Unit (PTEU) at Kennesaw State University is committed to developing
expertise among candidates in initial and advanced programs as teachers and leaders who possess the capability,
intent and expertise to facilitate high levels of learning in all of their students through effective, research-based
practices in classroom instruction, and who enhance the structures that support all learning. To that end, the PTEU
fosters the development of candidates as they progress through stages of growth from novice to proficient to expert
and leader. Within the PTEU conceptual framework, expertise is viewed as a process of continued development, not
an end-state. To be effective, teachers and educational leaders must embrace the notion that teaching and learning are
entwined and that only through the implementation of validated practices can all students construct meaning and
reach high levels of learning. In that way, candidates are facilitators of the teaching and learning process. Finally, the
PTEU recognizes, values and demonstrates collaborative practices across the college and university and extends
collaboration to the community-at-large. Through this collaboration with professionals in the university, the public
and private schools, parents and other professional partners, the PTEU meets the ultimate goal of assisting Georgia
schools in bringing all students to high levels of learning.
USE OF TECHNOLOGY:
As part of our conceptual framework, we are committed to preparing Professional Learning Facilitators who are
technology competent. As a result, technology has been infused into each education course. This course serves to
provide a basic foundation for technology related skills for educators. Students will be involved in one or more
following:
1. Basic skills and terminology needed to use a computer
2. Technology instruction in the use of a work processing package, email, the Internet, and various classroom
technologies (i.e., power point presentation, curriculum planning tools)
3. Development of an electronic teaching portfolio via scanning technology or digital photography
4. Using 35mm cameras to create slides of artwork for use in instruction, with overhead and slide projectors used to
present materials
5. Using Video cameras to document teaching methods and techniques
FIELD EXPERIENCES
While participating in all field experiences, you are encouraged to be involved in a variety of school-based activities
directed at the improvement of teaching and learning. Activities may include, but are not limited to, tutoring
students, assisting teachers or other school personnel, attending school board meetings, and participating in
education-related community events. As you continue your field experiences, you are encouraged to explore every
opportunity to learn by doing.

DIVERSITY:
A variety of materials and instructional strategies will be employed to meet the needs of the different learning styles
of diverse learners in class. Candidates will gain knowledge as well as an understanding of differentiated strategies
and curricula for providing effective instruction and assessment within multicultural classrooms. One element of
course work is raising candidate awareness of critical multicultural issues. A second element is to cause candidates
to explore how multiple attributes of multicultural populations influence decisions in employing specific methods
and materials for every student. Among these attributes are age, disability, ethnicity, family structure, gender,
geographic region, giftedness, language, race, religion, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. An
emphasis on cognitive style differences provides a background for the consideration of cultural context.
Kennesaw State University provides program accessibility and accommodations for persons defined as disabled
under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 or the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. A number of
services are available to support students with disabilities within their academic program. In order to make
arrangements for special services, students must visit the Office of Disabled Student Support Services (ext. 6443)
and develop an individual assistance plan. In some cases, certification of disability is required.
Please be aware there are other support/mentor groups on the campus of Kennesaw State University that
address each of the multicultural variables outlined above.
COURSE REQUIREMENTS/ASSIGNMENTS
1. Tests - Two written test will be given during the semester covering material assigned from the text, as well as
information covered in class. Details will be provided in class.
2. Teaching Resource Portfolios - A major focus of this course will be on activities and lessons, which have
effectively incorporated adaptations for students with disabilities. At the end of the semester each student will turn in
for evaluation a complete resource file/portfolio, which contains the following sections:
A. Studio/Production Portfolio - During the semester students will create a project in basic media used in
the teaching of art. These projects will be done both in and outside of class. A brief lesson plan will
accompany the selected project. The subject and themes for these activities will have a multicultural
emphasis.
B. Slide /Visuals Portfolio - Each student will develop a file of 10 visuals of artworks which were
completed by the students they worked with during their field experience. These images will be 35mm
slides, color transparencies and/or photographs. Specific requirements for this task will be provided at a
later date.
C. Computer Disk Portfolio - The use of computers for instruction in art is an emerging component of the
art program. During the semester, the class will be introduced to basic software and hardware that can be
used in art education. Members of the class will chronicle the art works created by their students in special
education and/or art classrooms. Lesson plan preparation on the computer will also be covered. At the end
of the semester each learning facilitator will turn in for evaluation a computer disk portfolio of images and
materials, which have been created on the computer.
3. Online Quizzes – Students will use the internet to complete quizzes relevant to subject-matter covered in class.
4. Lesson Task Analysis – Prior to participating in the field experiences students will develop lessons and conduct a
5
Department of Art Education
ARED 4490
detailed verbal and visual task analysis. The lesson and task analysis will be developed and refined during the first
half of the semester and be adapted to the needs of various special populations as relevant material is covered in
class.
5. Field Experience / Child Analysis Paper / Presentation / Reflection Sheets - During the second half of the
semester each student will conduct a series of lessons in special education classrooms and/or art classrooms with
special populations. In this experience the student will be responsible for conducting an art lesson, along with
members of their group. During this field experience students will make observations and photograph artwork to be
presented as part of a final presentation and paper. Reflection sheets will be completed following each field
experience.
EVALUATION AND GRADING
General guidelines are listed below. More specific criteria will be delivered during the semester.
1. Written assignments will be evaluated based on form and content. Grammatical correctness and organization will
be factors in the evaluation of assignments. Unless specified otherwise, written assignments should be typed
following the MLA or APA manual of style.
2. Visual work will be evaluated using the following criteria: (1) craftsmanship and presentation, (2) incorporation of
design elements and principles, (3) concept/originality, (4) effort and involvement.
3. In order to receive the grade of A in the class, a student must not only attain a class average of 90 or above, but
also maintain a high quality of performance by completing all class assignments and activities at a high level of
proficiency.
4. Students are required to do all assignments, including studio projects, without receiving outside assistance or help.
Violation of this policy will be viewed by the instructor as academic dishonesty.

ACADEMIC HONESTY:
Every KSU student is responsible for upholding the provisions of the Student Code of Conduct, as published in the
Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs. Section II of the Student Code of Conduct addresses the University's policy
on academic honesty, including provisions regarding plagiarism and cheating, unauthorized access to University
materials, misrepresentation/falsification of University records or academic work, malicious removal, retention, or
destruction of library materials, malicious/intentional misuse of computer facilities and/or services, and misuse of
student identification cards. Incidents of alleged academic misconduct will be handled through the established
procedures of the University Judiciary Program, which includes either an "informal" resolution by a faculty member,
resulting in a grade adjustment, or a formal hearing procedure, which may subject the student to the Code of
Conduct's minimum one semester suspension requirement.
ATTENDANCE POLICY / CLASS POLICIES
Class Attendance: Professional learning facilitators are expected to demonstrate prompt and regular class
attendance. An accumulation of 2 or more absences will be considered excessive and will result in the reduction of
the final grade. Each student is expected to participate in all class activities. Students are expected to complete all
class assignments and turn them in on the announced due dates for evaluation and critique.
Assignments: During the semester several class assignments will be given. Students will be expected to turn in the
assignments on the announced due dates. Any make up of an assignment or test must be arranged in advance. If there
is an emergency where a class will be missed, or an assignment cannot be turned in, please notify the instructor
beforehand. My office telephone is 770-423-6137. If there is no answer, please leave a message in my voice mailbox
or e-mail.
Policy for make-up work: Any make-up or missed work, (i.e. tests, assignments) must be arranged in advance of
the deadline for the activity.
Late Work: The instructor reserves the right not to accept work turned in after an announced deadline. In the event
work is accepted after the announced deadline, the grade for the assignment will be lowered accordingly.
Handouts and Course Material: During the semester there will be numerous handouts for the class. If a student
misses a class in which a handout is given, it is his or her responsibility to obtain the handout from the instructor at
the following class. After this period the instructor will no longer have additional copies, and it will be the
responsibility of the student to obtain a copy from a fellow student.
Incompletes: The incomplete grade is given under the following conditions: a. the student has had a major illness
requiring hospitalization or has been confined to home by a physician. In both cases, verification by the physician
will be required. b. serious illness or death of an immediate relative such as a spouse. Verification of such a situation
will be required.
