Procedures for Art Student Teaching Interview


Make an appointment to discuss student teaching with Dr. Kibbey by
mid-semester the semester before you plan to student teach.

Pre-requisites to student teaching are:

All required courses for the program have been or are in the process of
being completed, especially SED 523, the Art Ed Methods course.  The exception
to this rule is that one course could be taken during the summer after a
spring student teaching assignment.

All required courses have been completed successfully.  For current
coursework the student must request and provide written evidence of successful
progress to Dr. Kibbey.  Any incomplete grade will cancel the student teaching
placement.

All students must interview with potential cooperating art teachers to
receive a placement at a High School or Jr-Sr. High School.  Dr. Kibbey must
sanction all interviews prior to occurrence.  After the required Student
Teaching Appt. with Dr. Kibbey, she will provide you with names of potential
cooperating art teachers.  You will then be authorized to contact them and
set up an appointment and observation.  Your
responsibilities include:
	Asking the art teacher to clear the school visit with their 
	Principal.
	Checking in with the school office to reporting your arrival.
	Dressing professionally.
	Bringing copies of the following documents:
		1. Resume with home phone no. and mailing address.
		   If you do not have a resume, you may substitute a l
		   page biography with phone and address.  This resume or
		   biography must be left with the teacher.
		2. A professional portfolio that minimally  includes:
		3. A copy of your resume.
		4. A statement of your philosophy of education
		5. A Listing of all art and education courses that you 
		   have taken to date.  (It is helpful if you include the 
   		   brief catalogue description as well.  Both 
		   Undergraduate and Graduate courses should be included.
		6. At least 10 slides or photographs of your artwork
		7. A sample art lesson plan or a unit of instruction if you 
		   have one completed.
		8. Your proposal for the action research project.  This 
		   should be a topic of discussion and approval at this 
		   time.  Thus you can enter the assignment knowing 
		   which research topic you will be pursuing.

Upon completion of the interviewing process, please contact Dr. Kibbey
again to appraise her of the situation.  The cooperating teacher(s) will contact
her to accept or reject your application to student teach with them.  Should a rejection
occur, the process will need to be repeated until such time as a receptive site can
be located.
