Announcing Community~Word Project's Teaching Artist Training and Internship Program
(TATIP) for the 2007-08 School Year
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are pleased to announce the 8th year of TATIP,
which offers MFA students
and practicing artists the opportunity to transform their creative process
into teaching tools to integrate the arts into the
public school curriculum. Through this program,
participants gain skills that enable them to reach
out to underserved youth while gaining experience in
NYC classrooms. This program is made
possible with support from the Dana Foundation and the New York State Council on the Arts.
This training gives participants the foundation
from which one can build and implement a meaningful
curriculum relevant to the lives of New York City Youth. Participants will be
able to gain real-life classroom experience through
our internship program as they assist experienced Community~Word
Project teaching artists in residency classrooms.
*PLEASE NOTE: There is a $75.00 tuition contribution fee payable upon acceptance
to the program. Scholarships will be available; details and procedure for requesting
scholarships will be forthcoming with notice of acceptance.
Application Deadline: September 14, 2007 5:00pm
The application is due September 14, 2007 and can be
downloaded directly from our website using the links
at the
bottom of this section. There are two levels of
training offered; one for beginning and new teaching
artists, and another for those that have at least
two years experience working with underserved youth
in the
public school environment. Applicants will be
notified of acceptance before September 28.
