| Brief description of the Unit |
This unit illustrates how innovative Art teachers design curriculum, be resourceful, use a range of assessment approaches, communicate effectively and enhance learning outcomes for diverse students. Pre-service teachers will use contemporary curriculum policies and guidelines related to teaching VCE to design curriculum and assessment approaches. They will deepen their understanding of the roles and responsibilities of Art teachers and imaginatively design learning experiences for students that link Art with the community. |
