Relationships with Schools and Teachers

The role of the resident artist in schools can have lasting impact on the students, teachers,
administrators, and school culture. Investigation of resources, proper planning, continuous communication, and an understanding of roles and responsibilities are
paramount to a successful residency. 
 
The following offers realistic and applicable strategies for the resident artist to employ before, during, and after a residency regardless of the student population served. These strategies include assessment methods, behavior management tools and group-building rituals. 
 
These are ready-to-use techniques that help artists clarify the goals of their residency and build solid agreements with key stakeholders to create a culture of clear expectations, wherein voices are heard and resources are shared.
