WE OFFERED YEAR-LONG RESIDENCIES AT FIVE SCHOOLS; THE LENGTH OF OTHER RESIDENCIES RAN FROM SEVEN TO SIXTEEN WEEKS. EACH RESIDENCY WAS LED BY A TEAM OF TWO TEACHING ARTISTS, ASSISTED BY TWO TRAINEES FROM OUR TEACHING ARTIST TRAINING PROGRAM. IN ALL OF THESE RESIDENCIES, CHILDREN WROTE INDIVIDUAL AND COLLABORATIVE POEMS, DEVELOPING THEIR POWERS OF EXPRESSION AND STRENGTHENING THEIR LITERACY SKILLS. IN MOST OF THE RESIDENCIES, THE STUDENTS CREATED VIBRANT PERFORMANCES OF THEIR ORIGINAL POETRY, WHICH HELPED THEM TO DEVELOP SELF CONFIDENCE, PUBLIC SPEAKING SKILLS, AND THE ABILITY TO WORK AS A TEAM. 119214 TEACHER ARTIST TRAINING AND INTERNSHIP PROGRAM (TATIP); LAST YEAR TATIP PREPARED 28 NEW TEACHING ARTISTS TO WORK WITH AT-RISK STUDENTS IN UNDERSERVED PUBLIC SCHOOLS. DURING THE 25-WEEK PROGRAM, TRAINEES ATTENDED 30 HOURS OF SEMINARS ON SUBJECTS SUCH AS DEVELOPING CREATIVE TEACHING TOOLS, CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT, CREATING LESSON PLANS, AND CREATING PARTNERSHIPS WITH CLASSROOM TEACHERS. TRAINEES ALSO INTERNED IN CWP CLASSROOM RESIDENCIES, WHERE THEY RECEIVED VALUABLE HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE. THEY ALSO ATTENDED SIX 2-HOUR DEBRIEFING SESSIONS WHERE THEY DISCUSSED ISSUES RAISED DURING THEIR INTERNSHIPS. TATIP ALSO OFFERED SIX ELECTIVE HALF-DAY TRAINING SEMINARS ON WORKING WITH STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS, AND ON COLLABORATIVE VISUAL ARTS ACTIVITIES, COLLABORATIVE THEATRE ACTIVITIES, AND CREATIVE WRITING. 17303 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS: CWP ALSO OFFERS WORKSHOPS IN COLLABORATIVE CREATIVE EXPRESSION LITERACY AND LEADERSHIP METHODS FOR TEACHERS AND AFTER SCHOOL PERSONNEL.
