Supervising Student Teachers : A Shared Responsibility, C. H. Laine, S. A. Tanveer
Australian Journal of Teacher Education

United States Experience With Music The Arts Curriculum And Implications For Teacher Education, Lois N. Harrison
Australian Journal of Teacher Education

The children would have opportunities to sing songs of the countries being studied in social studies, to learn spelling words and number combinations through chants or songs, to develop works of art while listening to music, …
