From the Back Cover

Learning to Teach Art and Design in the Secondary School proposes that making art, craft and design is a useful, critical and potentially transforming process, and therefore fundamental to a plural society. It offers a conceptual and practical framework for understanding the diverse nature of art and design in education at KS3 and the 14-19 curriculum. It provides support and guidance for learning and teaching in art and design by examining and evaluating the theoretical basis for different approaches to learning and their application to classroom practice.

With reference to current debates, this fully updated second edition explores a range of approaches to teaching and learning; it raises issues, questions orthodoxies and identifies new directions. It also contains a number of practical tasks for student teachers to undertake on their own or in groups, and extensive lists of further reading. The chapters examine:

• ways of learning;
• planning and resourcing;
• attitudes to making;
• critical studies;
• values in a plural curriculum.

The book is designed to provide underpinning theory and address practical issues for student teachers on PGCE and initial teacher education courses in Art and Design. It will also be of relevance and value to teachers in school with designated responsibility for supervision of Art and Design student teachers, HE-based tutors and NQTs during their induction year.
