Content
This unit is the second in a sequence undertaken by students completing an arts methodology specialisation for teaching in secondary schools (Dance, Drama, Media, Music, or Visual Arts). The focus is on identifying contemporary arts curriculum initiatives in the senior years 11-12 of secondary schooling within 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 Senior Secondary curriculum of their arts discipline area, with a focus on the curriculum of relevance to their proposed teaching context. The unit prepares students to interpret, design and develop practical and theoretical learning experiences and lessons. They will explore resources, pedagogical frameworks and teaching strategies that will enable them to prepare students to meet prescribed coursework and examination requirements.

- Visual Arts - Burwood (Melbourne) or Online

Students will engage with selected technologies integral to the creative process, learning and teaching in their discipline area.
