Bachelor
of Arts in Art
with
Teacher Certification
The USAO Art teacher certification program is offered through the Division
of Arts and Humanities and combines liberal arts learning with teacher
preparation. Its goal is to prepare individuals to become effective art
teachers and obtain an Oklahoma
Teaching Certificate in art. This program
is a standards-based program, based upon the standards set forth by the
National Art Education Association (NAEA),
the State Competencies, and the research findings from
"Effective
Teacher" research. Collectively, these standards and research
findings provide the knowledge base for what art teachers should know
and do.
Individuals successfully completing this program are eligible to obtain an Oklahoma teaching certificate to teach art in grades
PK-12. Since USAO teacher certification programs are nationally
certified by The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) certification in
other states is simplified. It is recommended that certification be
initially obtained in Oklahoma prior to seeking certification from another
state.
A program
checklist for a degree in art with teacher certification is provided below.
Students wishing to pursue a teaching certificate in art should consult
Jacquelyn Knapp, the art
education advisor.
