The Teaching Artist Studio is a professional development program for teaching artists throughout Oregon and SW Washington. In this program, participants will examine the elements at the heart of their teaching: the what, the why, and the how. Through an experiential model of observation, analysis, and application, participants will identify effective teaching strategies and assessment models. All participants will work to refine existing curriculum or to design and pilot new curriculum.

The program consists of seven days of zoom workshops lead by our amazing facilitators Briana Linden and Subashini Ganesan-Forbes. There will be three-five small group in person breakout groups around the state and an optional studio residency placement.

Applications open through September 4th
