Continuous Assessment in the Art Education Program

Students’ progress through the art education programs is continuously monitored, assessed, and reviewed. In addition to regular evaluation in conjunction with their program course work and field placements, students will be assessed three times in their art education program:

1. Teacher Education Program (TEP). Students who desire to declare an Art Education major will demonstrate their progress in the Foundations Program and commitment to advanced undergraduate study through an application to the TEP. In this application, students must demonstrate that they have earned at least 60 credit hours and meet the criteria put forth by the College of Education by filling out the College of Education TEP application form. Upon meeting those criteria, applicants then have a portfolio review and interview with art education faculty to determine entry into the program.
   The TEP criteria include:
   • Total academic record. A minimum overall grade-point average of 2.75 is required.
   • Performance on required tests measuring proficiency in writing, reading and math.
   • Record of completed preprofessional course work, experiences, and awards.
2. Mid-Level review. No later than the semester prior to student teaching, students will demonstrate that they meet the criteria put forth by the art education faculty by submitting the materials required for review by the art education faculty.
3. Student Teaching. The final assessment is made by the two cooperating public school teachers who supervise the student, and by the observation assessments of the University student teaching supervisor.
