Applications are now being accepted for The Teaching Artist Training Institute (TATI).
The Teaching Artist Training Institute (TATI) provides free training and arts education best practices for individuals interested in working with students on the autism spectrum. Through observational visits and professional development seminars, TATI participants learn the fundamentals of autism, pathways of communication and the therapeutic value of the arts. Only 20 applicants are selected each year to participate in this intensive training.
“TATI rocks! Just to prove how effective it was, even with my seven years experience as a Teaching Artist, being a Special Ed. Teaching Assistant, as well as being a NYS Certified Art Teacher with a Master’s Degree, TATI filled in a lot of niches I didn’t know of or hadn’t explored before. It gave me ideas for my art and drama classes and I learned some highly-effective classroom management techniques! I will not only utilize what I learned for my Special Ed. students, but for my mainstream students as well.”
– Curtis Widem, TATI 2015 Graduate
