Description This subject is designed to develop pre-service teachers' efficacy and identities in the content area of science and the arts. Building on the concepts of teaching-artists and scientist-as-teacher this subject gives future teachers agency to create innovative and transformative learning experiences for the primary classroom. In this subject students build on their content knowledge in science and the arts, as developed in the subjects Science and Technology in the Primary Years, and Creative Arts Education.
