Teaching Artist Practicum

1 Course Unit

Teaching Artist Practicum supports artists engaging in education work, through the development of liberatory, expansive and justice- oriented teaching outlooks and approaches. Students in this course will gain context around forms of arts education through the lens of critical pedagogy. This course supports current/upcoming classroom experiences of participants (TA-ships and teaching appointments), and helps students prepare for teaching opportunities. This course will include readings/responses, creative and practical exercises, collaborative experiences, presentations, and a final project. This course is geared towards graduate students who are artists/cultural producers looking to teach in higher education, adult, community and young-adult (teen) learning, and alternative venues. Undergraduates may enroll with permission of the instructor. 1 Course Unit
