• In Event: 41.042 - Bilingual Co-Teaching Model: Art Gallery Lessons as an Exploration of a Collaborative Interdisciplinary Pedagogical Approach

Abstract

The context of the study is within a Spanish Methods course in the four-semester course sequence of a bilingual education teacher preparation program. Pre-service teachers in this foundations' semester course participate in a Spanish bilingual co-teaching model at an art museum by co-teaching gallery lessons to elementary school children in dual language classrooms. In this model, bilingual education Pre-service teachers co-teach with Art and Art history graduate students who are Gallery Teaching Fellows at the museum. The bilingual education Pre-service teachers are charged with enriching and extending the gallery lessons by the use of the Spanish language.
