Description

This is one of three interconnected units providing grounding in the expressive arts for student teachers who wish to strengthen this area of competency in their degree. In this unit, students will work from a practical music focus to develop confidence, understanding and skill in this aspect of expressive arts. At the same time, they will examine the importance of the arts in children's lives and education, the nature of authentic learning and reflective practice, advocacy, forms of presentation and integration of the arts. Current research, theory and resources, including technology will support this work. The final module of the unit is common to the three expressive arts units, allowing for one project across the units, or three separate projects, that are integrating and/or group and/or school-based.
