University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (Chickasha, OK) - TEACHER CERTIFICATION IN ART
TEACHER CERTIFICATION IN ART
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.
