2018-19 Resource Guide

A Teaching Artist in every classroom.

That’s our vision for 21st-century teaching and learning.
This catalog offers hundreds of innovative, arts-based learning opportunities
that meet rigorous academic standards and empower students to develop
critical thinking skills that will guide them through the academic, social,
personal, and professional challenges of their lifetimes.

But our work is larger than this catalog. With school administrators,
classroom teachers, and community program directors as partners, our
Teaching Artists collaborate to affect meaningful change and understanding
in the lives of youth everyday.

Who will you invite to collaborate with you?

What is
Arts for Learning?
Arts for Learning is part of
a national consortium of
Young Audiences affiliates
that engage more than eight
million children in the arts
each year. Our Indiana affiliate
is honored to serve over
50,000 students annually
across the state.
As a respected partner
in Hoosier schools and
communities for more than
57 years, Arts for Learning
knows the arts are vital to
a 21st century education—
not only as a standalone
content area but also as a
means of making lessons
in comprehension, analysis,
and composition come alive
across math, language arts,
science, and social studies in
grades pre K-12.
What does Arts for Want to learn about

 What makes Arts for Learning unique?
Teaching Artists.
Our Teaching Artists are professionals with two distinct
specializations—they are experts in their chosen art forms but
are also highly experienced educators.

As artists, they deeply understand the process of making.

They know that making takes time, choice and ownership,
modeling, repeated practice, feedback, and opportunities to
not quite get it right and go back again to revise. The process
of making is, really, parallel to the process of learning. This is
perhaps why these artists are also drawn to teaching, and why
they approach teaching with a student-centered mindset and
unquenchable passion for inquiry.

The programs in this catalog are starting points, seeds in a

garden of opportunity. The content and delivery of these

and certification process. But what is described here barely
scratches the surface of what our Teaching Artists can
provide. Invite them into your classroom in the spirit of
collaboration, to think together about how art might help
students see and understand differently, to address the big
questions and hard concepts in any subject matter. You—and
your students—will not be disappointed.

Hands-on
Workshops
Workshops place
teaching artists directly in
classrooms, where they work
collaboratively with students
to create unique works and
gain further understanding
about an art form and content
area. This creative process
improves their ingenuity,
critical thinking, and problem-
solving skills.
Interactive
Performances
Performances are large
assemblies that provide a
high-quality experience,
engaging students in an
exciting hands-on experience
during the show.
In-depth
Residencies
Residencies are curriculum-
based and consist of multiple
sessions of sequential
learning—three or more—in
which a teaching artist works
with the same group of
students in a focused setting.
Residencies begin with a
planning meeting between
classroom teacher/site
coordinator and Teaching
Artist to set the goal and
expectations of the residency
and often close with a
reflection meeting to discuss
the outcomes.

foundations with grants to support curriculum enrichment
programs that schools and teachers can apply for. Not a
grant writer? Not a problem! Arts for Learning would be
delighted to assist your school in drafting a strong application.
Did you know that the arts are now included in the definition
of a “well-rounded education”? This means you can use

Learning. Contact your designated program director to see
how you can make the titles work for your school!
Are you wondering how students can be more involved?
