Educator preparation program improvement goals for the upcoming program year |
| Goal #1 |
We have hired several new faculty members this year that will help expand the breadth of our art education courses. Their vast experience in the field will present new options for students. More teaching voices allow us to provide new opportunities to our students throughout all levels of the program. |
| Goal #2 |
Montserrat College of Art's strategic plan for 2020-23 highlights diversity and inclusion, among other goals. The College's continued commitment to diversity and inclusion will necessitate new kinds of supports to ensure the success of all of our community members and this will extend to the art education program as well. We plan to continue to assess issues of representation and inclusion within our curriculum, making necessary changes as we go so that all students in our program feel like they are seen, heard, and belong. We also aim to support our future students of color in the art room. We would like to increase opportunities for students and faculty of color at the college and in the art education program in general. |
| Goal #3 |
Due to the pandemic, we are continuing to work on new ways to improve the field experience aspect of the Art Education program. We are trying to place students in diverse school settings for the pre-practicum and practicum internships. Since Covid, we have seen restrictions in allowing students to observe in schools prior to pre-practicum, so we have explored new options, including video and recorded observations. These options have allowed us to expand the kinds of classrooms and teachers are students are observing because they are not required to be in person r within driving distance. We are also inviting more practitioners to visit our classrooms and share their practice remotely. Next year we will explore returning to the field with a limited but pre-planned visits with certain practitioners. We hope to give the students a broad exposure to the field as possible through video, remote and in-person observations. |
