Examples of Past Student Coursework: Writing

In fulfilling the requirements of the AIE program, students are expected to structure their programs to suit their individual needs and interests, with guidance and support from the Arts in Education office. Summaries of prior students' coursework, outlining their various individualized versions of the AIE program, are available in the “Student Pathways 2005-06” and “Student Pathways 2006-07” lists on this “curriculum” part of the AIE web site.

Please Note: The following are examples of programs as students have designed or might design them. They are NOT prescribed courses of action. Some courses mentioned may no longer be available. Please check the online HGSE course catalog for current offerings.
