Questions About TATIP
Dates for 2009-2010 Training

The
Community~Word Project believes that trained teaching artists have a
greater chance of creating successful experiences for the young people and
classroom teachers we serve.
Our twenty-five week Training &
Internship Program offers new teaching artists
the opportunity to transform their creative skills into innovative
educational tools while gaining hands-on teaching experience.
Whether the learning environment is a public school classroom or a
community center, a prison or a halfway house, teaching artists benefit
from a comprehensive approach to training.
Due to generous
support from the Dana Foundation, the New York City Department of
Cultural Affairs, and the New York State Council on the Arts,
we now offer three concurrent trainings; one geared toward teaching
K-6th grade students, one geared toward addressing the needs of middle
and high school students and one geared for experienced teaching
artists.
We
recruit artists from MFA programs in the New York City
Area and from performance and visual arts venues across the city. The
training is open to practicing professional creative writers, visual
artists, theater artists, media artists, dancers and musicians.
The
Training and Internship Program takes place
between October and May, and includes training seminars, debriefing
meetings and internships where participants observe and assist in CWP
residencies in NYC public schools under the mentorship of experienced
CWP staff teaching artists. The
program requirements vary for the three different levels of training
(New and
Beginning, Advanced, and Undergraduate); please see each application
for more
details.
We
encourage all serious writers, theater artists, visual
artists, media artists, dancers and musicians to apply. (You need not
be
affiliated with an MFA program).
We
are no longer accepting applications for the 2009-10 Teacher
Artist Training and Internship Program. Check back next year for 2010-11 TATIP enrollment information.
