Faye Stanley offers trainings for teaching artists that support the development of skills to link their artistic practice to the goals and objectives of the classroom setting. This professional development serves not only to strengthen their understanding and competence in the educational world, but also strengthens artistic practice.
There are many components to the work of a successful teaching artist, and Faye has summarized much of this information in her book, The Teaching Artist Toolbox: Connecting Your Art and the Schools. (New Village Press)
"Faye Stanley has done the field a huge service by gathering this very useful collection of tools for teaching artists (new and experienced) to use across the range of their work in schools. I have never seen a toolbox quite as useful as this, and I hope many teaching artists grab it to start building better teaching and learning in schools and more satisfaction in their work."
Eric Booth (author of The Everyday Work of Art, Founding Editor of The Teaching Artist Journal)
