Teaching Artist Journal

Description:

---

The Teaching Artist Journal (TAJ) provides an authoritative, timely, ongoing professional development resource to clarify, enrich, and advance Teaching Artist research and practice. Teaching Artists--professionals with skills in both teaching and the arts--have uniquely powerful perspectives, practices, and skills. They make significant contributions and are a crucial resource to arts-in-education programs, to arts education and general education, and to the future of the arts as a whole. Until this journal, there has been no national professional forum for their learning and development, no vehicle for their voices to be heard. The mission of the Teaching Artist Journal is to support and intensify the professional development of Teaching Artistry by advancing the practice of Teaching Artists; by increasing Teaching Artists understanding of the background, contexts, and potentials of their work; and by expanding the recognition, appreciation and support of their contributions.
