Planning

As Teaching Artists, we know that so much can and will arise unexpectedly in the classroom; having a strong plan in place can help you feel prepared to provide a meaningful experience for your students no matter what. These resources are designed to support your planning process—from leading an initial planning meeting and observing the classroom, to generating goals with classroom professionals and students, and developing a curriculum.
