ACPPA Community Art Center Teaching Artists all possess a bachelors or masters degree in education in their chosen field. Each teacher is also asked to provide the proper clearances in order to work directly with children. What do we ask of our hosts? A representative from the hosting organization should remain in the room with the teaching artist. Provide the proper environment for the activity: tables and chairs for art classes; large, open space with no carpets for dance classes. Access to a sink and running water for equipment clean up. The total number of students expected to that we can ensure the proper amount of materials. |
