Through an integrated teaching approach this topic introduces an understanding of the role of creative expression in society. Creative development is linked to theories of child development and to the importance of providing every child with the opportunity to practise and develop in creative expression. The themes of analysis, response and practice are explored in relation to the different forms of creative expression and in different cultural and vocational contexts. Students are introduced to a variety of appropriate teaching methodologies and resources, the importance of organisation and materials management in the learning environment, the use of information and communication technologies and to necessary practical skills for teaching in the areas of the expressive arts. Current curriculum frameworks are used for planning for learning, and students address long-term planning for teaching encompassing rich, integrated learning, inclusive teaching practices, and the embedded use of information and computer technology.
