The faculty of Art and Design and the School of Education collaborate to offer the art education program (K-12 certification) for students seeking an art teaching career.  The program is a combination of studio art and art history coursework to develop art competencies with an education, psychology and practitioner-based curriculum to provide professional preparation in teacher education.

 



How can we develop each student's artistic and creative senses? Maryville is known for its outstanding programs in studio art. There are superb opportunities for a prospective art teacher to grow and develop. As with our other programs, the collaboration between the art faculty and the education faculty ensure that the practicum placements and specialized knowledge needed to teach art are organized around the prospective teachers' strengths in studio as well as their experiences teaching children how to express themselves as artists.  Teacher education students in art gain extensive field experience in elementary, middle level and secondary settings.

Excellent teachers are always in demand. More than ever before, the country needs classroom teachers who are bright, articulate, dedicated to working with children and dedicated to helping children learn about their role in preserving our American democracy. The future for new teachers is indeed bright. There are national and local needs for quality teachers, especially teachers who are committed to a life of learning along with their students. Maryville is known for preparing teachers well and for ensuring that they will continue to prepare for their roles throughout their lives as they continue to learn and reflect on their practice.

Because of the faculty's extensive connections with the K-12 schools, Maryville students receive excellent opportunities for employment.
