About
Arts residencies: Community-Word Project establishes collaborative arts residencies in New York City Title I schools during in and out-of-school time as well as libraries to bring professional writers and artists to underserved classrooms and provide kids with a unique and stimulating arts-integrated curriculum. Our teaching artists work alongside classroom teachers and after-school leaders to integrate creative and critical thinking skills through the arts. [See continuation on Schedule O] CWP offers multi-disciplinary arts curriculum, often delivering the only educational exposure participating young people have to art, music, theater, movement, and creative writing. In accessing alternative learning channels, young people discover their personal passions, strengthen their individual and collective voices, and engage in learning and develop greater literacy. Two professional teaching artists per classroom -- a creative writer is paired with a visual artist, musician, dancer, or theater artist to teach weekly during a 12-25 week residency. Our teaching artists collaborate with classroom teachers to plan and integrate the city, state, and national standards into their lessons. Interdisciplinary arts programming -- poetry and creative writing are central to our program, but our pedagogy is interdisciplinary to engage students in different learning skill sets and to expose students to a variety of art forms. Participating students write both individually and collectively while exploring music, dance, theater, and visual arts as outlets of creative expression. Our aim is to help children discover their unique voices, to invite their passion to be heard, and to lead and be respected among peers in their communities. 6:1 student to teacher ratio CWP places two teaching artist interns to apprentice and support collaborative arts residencies and to facilitate various group projects. The combination of classroom teacher, teaching artists, and interns creates a 6:1 student/teacher ratio. During the 2017-18 academic year, CWP served 44 New York public libraries, 84 classrooms in 22 public schools, 1 community-based organization and over 2,900 students in K-12th grade.
