Major Activities

Activity 2

Teacher Artist Training and Internship Program (TATIP): Last year TATIP prepared 41 new Teaching Artists to work with at-risk students in underserved public schools. During the 25-week program, trainees attended 30 hours of seminars on subjects such as developing creative teaching tools, classroom management, creating lesson plans, and creating partnerships with classroom teachers. Trainees also interned in CWP classroom residencies, where they received valuable hands-on experience. They also attended six 2-hour debriefing sessions where they discussed issues raised during their internships. TATIP also offered an elective half-day training seminar on working with students with Special Needs, and on collaborative visual arts activities, collaborative theatre activities, and creative writing. CWP offers 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.

Activity 3

Professional Development Workshops: CWP also offers workshops in collaborative creative expression literacy and leadership methods for teachers and after school personnel. In 2009-2010, CWP provided these workshops at PS 132 (which also hosted classroom residencies), at four schools in Teacher College Harlem Ivy program, Young Audiences New York, and The After School Corporations. These workshops were attended by approximately 160 people.
