EMA410 Teaching and Assessing the Creative Arts (8)

In this subject students will develop and demonstrate understanding of the processes of planning, learning and assessing in the creative arts, whilst considering the intent of both the K-6 Creative Arts syllabus and the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). They will explore various theoretical perspectives that inform creative arts education in the early childhood and primary contexts. This will lead to the development of appropriate learning experiences and assessment in creative arts, reflecting child centred and engaging learning environments.
