In an immersive field experience, application of practical issues such as classroom management, budgeting, and community engagement are observed by the student, building an informed understanding of pedagogical practices needed for a professional career at the secondary school level. Successful completion of the field experience is in accordance with the Teacher Quality Standards and the Colorado Academic Standards: Visual Arts.
