Part One: Tools, techniques and ideas -- 1. What will I teach? -- 2. How will I teach? -- 3. How is my teaching working? -- Part Two: Context -- 4. Who, what, how, why and where (Do we go from here?) -- 5. A brief, broad history of the teaching artist.

Teaching Artist Handbook is based on the premise that teaching artists have the unique ability to engage students as fellow artists. In their schools and communities, teaching artists put high quality art-making at the center of their practice and open doors to powerful learning across disciplines. This book is a collection of essays, stories, lists, examples, dialogues, and ideas, all offered with the aim of helping artists create and implement effective teaching based on their own expertise and strengths. The Handbook addresses three core questions: "What will I teach?" "How will I teach it?"
