Teaching Artist Training
The 21st century artist is a teaching artist. Practicing artists need to understand how principles of their artistic discipline can be applied to student learning. Zephyr provides teaching artist training to help artists break down the basic components of their art form in order to balance teaching that form, while applying it to academic curriculum. Zephyr’s teaching artist training workshops utilize movement as the primary vehicle, however, Zephyr’s methods are applicable to any artform. Zephyr’s workshops for teaching artists focus on:
- Planning
- Classroom Practice
- Assessment
- Documentation
