Publisher Description

You are an artist, living the artist's life. But you also want to make a difference in the world as a teaching artist. You know how to pursue excellence in your art form; how can you pursue excellence in teaching artistry?

A Teaching Artist's Companion: How to Define and Develop Your Practice is a how-to reference for veteran and beginning teaching artists alike. Artist-educator Daniel Levy has been working in classrooms, homeless shelters and correctional facilities for over thirty years. With humor and hard-won insight, Levy and a variety of contributing teaching artists narrate their successes and failures while focusing on the practical mechanics of working within conditions of limited time and resources. Levy organizes teaching artist practice within a framework of View, Design, and Respond. View is everything you value and believe about teaching and learning; Design is what you plan before you go into a classroom; Respond is how you react to and support your students face to face. With the aid of checklists, worksheets, and primary sources, A Teaching Artist's Companion invites you to define your own unique view, and guides your observing, critiquing, and shaping your practice over time.

Dance TA recommended

This is a wonderful resource for Teaching Artists of all disciplines. Clear and practical tips and strategies for planning and curriculum development, but also addresses working toward good relationships with organizations, administrators, etc. It is more than just a book on educational design - it defines teaching artistry, addresses the business end of the profession, and I keep finding little gems, like the idea of “stealth reflection” which is a fun way of looking at responsive pedagogy. I would recommend this to both new and experienced art teachers (all disciplines) and TAs.
