P.S. ARTS is proud to partner with CSULA on their Community Teaching Artist Certificate (CTA) Program which provides a theoretical and practical foundation from which teaching artists can assess and deepen their own practice in the communities they serve. The 8-week online
program focuses on a broad curriculum, pedagogy, and professionalization in applied community arts education.
P.S. ARTS is offering a practical component to this program, expanding the existing curriculum with an optional series of three, in-person, morning sessions. This practicum will give participants experiential learning in arts education facilitation. They will work with P.S. ARTS educator development specialists to practice and apply what they are learning in the course. Through hands-on workshops and practicum activities, participants will increase their applicable, actionable skills for real arts classroom settings. They will also be able to further develop their pedagogical practice as Teaching Artists.
The CTA program aims to:
-
Provide opportunities for dynamic artistic and cultural leaders to enhance and improve efficacy and marketability.
-
Allow Teaching Artists to build on their own creative capital and gain insights into adapting and orienting themselves in diverse community settings.
