| To Become a Teaching Artist |
| | | Location: Arts Council Office, 23 White Oak Drive, Sugar Loaf | Want to become a teaching artist?
Want to work in schools helping kids with their academic subjects through your art form?
That’s what teaching artists do!
They are arts professionals who use their art form as a catalyst for teaching and learning across the academic curriculum. They might bring mathematics to life via dance, history to life via visual arts, science to life via music, and peer issues to life via theater. They are versatile and inventive and know how to engage emotion, imagery and creativity in the exploration of the meaning of things. They work closely with kids and teachers in classrooms K-12 and have learned to open minds and hearts to the power of imagination and the joy of learning.
The world of the teaching artist is a place of transformations. It is not for everyone and it is not easy. The skill set for success as a teaching artist includes learning how to use your art form to bring ideas to life across the academic curriculum in an organized way, learning how to collaborate with classroom teachers, how to manage potentially difficult classroom environments, how to work with children who learn differently, and how to know what children are actually learning.
Master teaching artist, John Cimino, president and founder of The Learning Arts and Creative Leaps International, will be your guide for entering this world of arts and cross-disciplinary learning. Certified teaching artists will become part of the council’s roster of TAs positioned and ready to serve as a qualified resource to schools requesting teaching artists throughout the county.
For those electing to pursue certification, instruction will be rigorous and practical, but also personally supportive, reflective and formative, and equivalent to graduate level study. There are no educational pre-requisites, however each application will be considered individually. Anyone interested, should apply. Sessions will be scheduled in the evening approximately every two weeks, holidays permitting, starting mid-fall and continuing into the spring for a total of ten sessions, each 2.5 hours in length. The course will culminate in two days of in-service practical work with children and teachers at an Orange County school.
Introductory Q&A Session, Oct. 18, 7-8pm. First Class begins Oct. 25. Call the Arts Council now for an application, 845-469-9168. |
