Teaching Artist Feedback – 2022 Survey Results
We Asked and You Answered – Read actual unedited transcript of the Teaching Artist 2022 Survey Question #30: What is the best thing about serving as a CAPE Teaching Artist?
The CAPE model puts teaching artists in the classroom – to partner with teachers, develop collaborative curriculum, and bring the arts to students
| Learning and growth. |
| Having the time to explore with the kids |
| I always look forward to my work – building relationships with my teaching partner and the students, being able to do what I love |
| Working with students |
| The collaborative teaching model |
| When you get paired with a great teacher and can collaborate! |
| Teaching. The best part is the teaching. There are other good parts but really when I’m in the class with the students actually doing the teaching that’s just great. |
| I adore seeing the children’s faces light up as something clicks: a new passion for art, a new medium, seeing their own improvement, etc. I remember seeing several kids my first year really click with video editing and what they could accomplish, their imaginations went wild. |
| Being able to get kids into art at an early age |
| CAPE staff members are very open, easy to talk, and understanding. |
| Having a partner teacher, collaboration on direction, team leadership in classroom |
| Having the support and healthy relationship with the teachers and staff to do what I love with the students. |
| I love that this job pays a fair wage for our given economy. This allows me to have money to pay my bills and still explore the other possibilities in the are world. I feel this job is a great stepping stone/side job that you can do to help advance your artistic career. My goal is to be a full time artist and CAPE is a huge part in allowing that to happen. If I lost cape, I don’t know what I would do. |
| Openness in pedagogy and freedom to explore in my art and teaching practice, long term partnerships, friendships, CAPE is family |
|
learn and meet interesting people
|
| The students |
|
Seeing kids excited about making art and getting to collaborate with the kids throughout the process.
|
| experimenting with great partners and making art |
| The freedom to develop your own curriculum |
| I like working with non-art teachers and students, it provides an interesting and often unexpected perspective. |
| Engagement with students/ school community, pay, flexibility of time. |
