About this title

Synopsis

Learning to Teach Art and Design in the Secondary School is the key text for all those preparing to become art and design teachers in secondary school. It explores a range of approaches to teaching and learning, and provides a conceptual and practical framework for understanding the diverse nature of art and design in the secondary school curriculum.

Written by experts in the field, it aims to inform and inspire, challenge orthodoxies and encourage a freshness of vision. It provides support and guidance for learning and teaching in art and design, suggesting strategies to motivate and engage pupils in making, discussing and evaluating visual and material culture.

This fourth edition has been comprehensively updated and re-structured in light of the latest theory, research and policy in the field and includes new chapters exploring diversity, identity and inclusion, attitudes to making and teaching as an artistic practice.

Essential topics include:

• Ways of learning in art and design
• Teaching as an artistic practice
• Planning for teaching and learning
• Diversity and inclusion
• Sustainable design
• Assessment and examinations
• Critical studies
• Professional development in the gallery

Supporting each chapter are suggestions for further reading and tasks designed to encourage you to reflect critically on your practice.

Learning to Teach Art and Design in the Secondary School addresses issues for all student teachers and mentors on initial teacher education courses in Art and Design. It is also of relevance and value to teachers in schools with designated responsibility for supervision.
