Overview
The Teaching Artists Guild, a fiscally sponsored project of Community Initiatives, is the only membership organization for teaching artists in the country, providing programs to support the professionalization of the teaching artist field, particularly through professional development. Support will enable Teaching Artists Guild to partner with Create CA to build a framework for a system to certify the expertise of professional teaching artists. Because teaching artists are not formally credentialed and are often itinerant, a digital badge is one way to document expertise and address the state’s Blueprint for Creative Schools recommendations to help restore arts education in public schools.
