Growth Mindset Develpment in Teaching Practicum

Abstract

This paper reviews Teaching Practicum, a graduate level class that prepares the Masters of Fine Arts candidates to be professors in the United States. The class attracts many art students to be dedicated educators, while can be required for a student not interested in a teaching career. Additionally, the instructor assigned to teach such a class cannot possibly be the “perfect” professor for everyone. One of the common topics is also “can art (as a subject highly individualized and creative) be taught?”
