The focus is on identifying contemporary arts curriculum initiatives in the post primary years 7-10 of compulsory education and within various contexts such as the classroom, the whole school and the broader community. Students will consider and critique a range of influences and initiatives in the curriculum of their arts discipline area, with a focus on the Australian Curriculum.
The unit prepares students to research and apply skills required to design, and develop lesson and unit sequences. They will develop assessment strategies, resources for teaching the artform, and engage with selected technologies as both a creative process and a teaching and learning medium.
Students will develop critical and creative thinking skills, interpersonal communication and intercultural understanding as they analyse, reflect and build a philosophy of arts education.
