Residency Programs

A series of workshops in which teaching artists, with the ongoing support and participation of classroom teachers, actively engage students in creative experiences.

TEACHER PROFESSIONAL GROWTH RESIDENCY

In the STAR (Stimulating Teaching through Arts Residencies) program, YASD's Teaching Artists present model lessons for teachers, enabling classroom teachers to enhance both their skills and student learning in the arts and other subjects.

In-service Arts Workshops: YASD artists conduct in-service workshops in a particular art form for teacher professional development. Teachers may find new techniques and entirely new ways to teach a subject.
In-services can be tailored to a school's specific needs. These workshops are a great way to help teachers become knowledgeable and comfortable enough to infuse singing, dance, theatre and visual art into every-day classroom programs.
