What subject could be more intuitive than Art? As an aspiring Art teacher, you’re well-versed in the field and are likely an accomplished artist yourself. You know the ins and outs of the subject and the copious amounts of self-expression involved.
However, you also understand teaching art and making it are slightly different, the former being more complicated than the latter due to the technical aspects involved. There’s a lot you’ll need to know to be involved in this part of your field, which is why—if you’re in the state of Oklahoma—you’ll have to pass the OSAT Art exam as part of your educational training.
While it may seem counter-intuitive to have to take a standardized test to teach Art, it’s required by the state of Oklahoma to ensure you possess all the necessary skills for a teaching career. It’s worth noting that no one can teach in Oklahoma without first earning a passing score on this test. It’s heavily important to your future career prospects, which is why you deserve to give it your all.
