40. State Board Policy TCP-B-002 Standard 5 of the Birth-Kindergarten specialty standard (2009): B-K teacher candidates “create and adapt environments and intentionally plan and implement an integrated curriculum that facilitates every child’s construction of knowledge and provides a strong foundation for lifelong learning.” In the Emergent Creative Arts, B-K teacher candidates must: 1.facilitate children’s creative expression through dance/creative movement, drama, music, and visual arts; 2.use the arts to represent ideas;

51. IHE Reporting (2009-2013) 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
