XAED336 - Teaching Internship

Course Description

Covid-19’s effect on education has been seismic. Paul Reville, founding director of the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HSGE) Redesign Lab, refers to this as a “Sputnik Moment” and encourages educators to seize this opportunity and prepare to advocate for all-encompassing change.  In this blended class, you will collaborate with K-12 teachers to develop and test online learning objects. You will also participate in an internship as a Teaching Assistant for a credentialed art teacher in a K-12 public school of your choice. This field experience along with readings, videos and discussions provide the opportunity to expand and reflect on your understanding of arts education theory in conjunction with the reality of the public school system, all of which culminates in the development of a professional online teaching portfolio. 

Note:

- Through weekly Zoom meetings, students will work under the guidance of instructor expertise to achieve their work in a virtual studio environment. In addition, students take part in select course activities at their own time; course content will be posted on a weekly basis based on the scheduled meeting date.
