The
Teaching Artist 101 Professional Development
Series is for teaching artists and arts specialists
with fewer than five years in the Arts In
Education and arts education fields.
TA
101 is a sequential, consistent, and cohesive
course that will enable participants to:
develop a philosophy and methodology of
work based upon research, sound educational
theory and practice, and high artistic standards;
practice what they have learned under
the supportive eyes of experienced mentors;
and
develop strategies for both integrating
the arts and teaching the arts with the
often surprising challenges that working
in schools presents.
The
program will consist of ten sessions that
will take place between September 2008 and
March 2009 at the Center
for Arts Education in New York City. Participants
who complete all ten sessions and related
course work will receive an honorarium of
$500 upon the completion of the program.
Candidates
who are practicing, professional artists and
are seeking the complementary skills and sensibilities
of an educator who can engage people in learning
experiences in, through, and about the arts
are the targeted population for this innovative
program underwritten by the Dana Foundation.
The program is limited to 25 participants.
Eligibility
Applicants must reside in metro New York City,
Nassau, Suffolk or Westchester counties. Applicants
