This 1972 Distinguished Achievement Award Entry is the Art Education Program at Kutztown State College, Kutztown, Pennsylvania. The program leads to a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) or Master of Education in Art Education degree. Courses are also available in special education. Admission to the undergraduate program is accomplished through a selective screening process which includes the presentation of a portfolio. The Program, itself, consists of 44 semester hours of diversified studio work, opportunities for a pre-student teaching instructional experience, 18 weeks of elementary and secondary full-time student teaching, and 60 semester hours of general education courses. Evaluation of the program was accomplished through feedback from graduates, cooperating teachers, and school administrators. Behavioral competencies of the graduates were compared with competencies recommended by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. (The appendixes include courses required for the B.S. degree, portfolio requirements, general education courses, and a summary of checklists for beginning art teachers who graduated in 1970. The Behavioral Competency Study is also included.) (BRB)
