25. IHE Reporting (2009 and 2012) Language Arts Methods course that includes /embeds the arts Taught by LA instructor Language Arts and Creative Expression Some IHEs require a 1-hour lab in “the arts” May be stand alone, or combined with other requirements, such as language arts and creative expression course Labs or Practicum May require students to take one or more courses in a specific arts discipline (as a stand alone, or in addition to integrated arts coursework) Most do not include methods or pedagogy for integrating arts into teaching practice Arts-Specific Coursework
