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. * The Training and Internship Program takes place between October and May. It begins with a mandatory five-day institute (five Saturdays over the course of four months) focusing on developing innovative teaching methods, exploring classroom management and developing creative expression exercises. *
The institute is followed by monthly two-hour
seminars that focus on further preparing for the classroom. *
Interns gain hands-on experience by joining
Community~Word Project teaching artists in our classroom residencies. *
We have visits from arts-in-education professionals
who further link you with organizations that may be looking to hire
teaching artists. * We host an annual Teaching Artist Information Job Fair Panel held in May. We encourage all serious
writers, theater artists, visual artists, dancers and musicians to
apply. (You need not be affiliated with an MFA program) We
will begin accepting applications for the 2008-09 Teacher Artist
Training and Internship Program in June 2008.
