Teaching Artist Resources
For artists in all art forms who are developing their professional
careers as Teaching Artists.
In the summer of 2007 Durham Arts Council received a grant from the Durham
Cultural Master Plan, a joint program of the City and County of Durham, to
provide professional development training for individual teaching artists through a
Teaching Artists Roundtable. To extend the impact of that year-long pilot we
compiled the following resources.
Most of the resources deal specifically with Teaching Artists issues. Lesson
plans, integrating different art forms with the curriculum, understanding the
standard course of study, training and grant funding, are all tools of the artist who
conducts residencies or arts projects within a classroom setting.
Additional links and listings provide more general tools--financial planning, finding
health insurance--that can be of use to any artist establishing themselves as a
business.
We hope you will find this a useful compilation. Please contact
mdemott@durhamarts.org if you would like to suggest additional resources to be
listed.

Alternate ROOTS is a member-driven organization based
in Atlanta. Its members are artists committed to creating
progressive social and cultural change through art. ROOTS
members are artists of all disciplines, teachers, university
professors, arts administrators, students, children, and
seniors.
Members are eligible to apply, with a community partner,
for Community-Artist Partnership Project grants. Members who are touring
performing artists can also apply to be on the Tour Program, which is a regranting program—ROOTS grants National Endowment for the Arts (NEA)
money to individual artists and companies who might not otherwise receive NEA
money. ROOTS publishes newsletters and has an annual meeting, which usually
takes place during the first week of August, near Asheville, NC, at a Lutheran
retreat center. In 2008, the Annual Meeting is August 5-10.

Assessment Rubrics
RubiStar
RubiStar is a free tool that you can use to create quality
rubrics for assessing student learning. A rubric is a simple
and (relatively) objective way to evaluate student learning
as it is taking place. You can sign up with RubiStar and
then use their templates to create your own rubric in a few
minutes. You can create rubrics in English or Spanish.
You can give students a rubric at the beginning of a
residency that will show them clearly what you expect them to learn and be able
to do by the end of the residency, and they can use the rubric to self-assess, or
you and your teacher-partner can fill out the rubrics.
http://rubistar.4teachers.org/
Arts in Education Programs
A+ Schools
The A+ Schools Program is a whole school re-form model
that views the arts as fundamental to how teachers teach and
students learn in all subjects. The mission of the A+ Schools
Program is to create schools that work for everyone—
students, teachers, administrators, parents and the
community. There are forty-two A+ schools in NC, and
networks in Arkansas and Oklahoma as well. NC A+ Schools
are public schools distributed across the state in neighborhoods that reflect the
diversity of the state.
The A+ Schools employ some teaching artists to do professional development
training for teachers in A+ Schools. Most of the trainings happen during the
summer. A+ Schools also sometimes bring in artists to conduct residencies that
integrate the arts and core curricula.

Funding Sources
A note about seeking funding support for arts-in-education residencies:
Most teaching artists are not 501-(c)-3 organizations; in other words, the IRS
does not recognize us as not-for-profit entities. That means we are not eligible for
most grant programs. It is possible to become a 501-(c)-3 organization, with a
little help from a lawyer and a lot of time. However, individual artists can team up
with non-profit organizations such as schools and arts councils, and collaborate
with them to write grants to support artist-in-school residencies. The
administrators and/or teachers, if they want you to work with their young people,
will welcome your help on a writing a grant with them. And the funding
organizations recognize schools and arts councils as worthy grantees. So partner
up, partner!
Alternate ROOTS funds its members only. It does fund individual artists for
community arts projects. For information about joining, send an email to:
info@alternateroots.org, or call: 404-577-1079.

but you must contact the Arts in Education coordinator,
Linda Bamford, at least TWO MONTHS before the
deadline to discuss the application with her and get

Individual artists can team up with a school or other non-profit and write a grant

to get help with their process.
