Jacksonville, FL Post-Graduate Job Expires April 8, 2021

In 2017, CAP’s board, staff and key stakeholders gathered to rethink, redefine and reimagine how to expand CAP’s reach to more children while maintaining its standards of excellence. What emerged is a fellowship model that allows CAP to reach more children in more ways while strengthening the arts throughout our community and building a sustainable future for CAP and its teaching artist fellows. Fellows will leave the program after three years as highly trained artists, professionals and educators, with the credentials, certifications or degrees needed to be competitive candidates for schools, universities and arts organizations across the country.

 

The Theatre Teaching Artist Fellow should be centered in strong artistic practice and have the desire to share their skills and knowledge for the benefit of children and the community. The fellow is responsible for theatre-based education in multiple schools or community sites throughout Duval County during the school year. They will need to pivot teaching plans for a variety of student populations and learning environments, including virtual settings, and be responsible for classroom management and curriculum development.

 

When not leading students, the fellow is responsible for overseeing the successful management of their classes, including but not limited to supply purchases and delivery, attendance tracking and reporting, and student data compilation. In addition, the fellow will dedicate time to accomplishing their three-year career goal by providing administrative support to one of CAP’s four teams – Development, Finance & Administration, Marketing & Communications or Program.

 

The fellow will be employed on a three-year term as a full-time employee of CAP and will report to the Senior Director of Programs. The fellowship contract has an anticipated start date of May 10, 2021, and end date of June 30, 2024.

•       Collaborate with site administration, such as principals, teachers or guidance counselors, to create lessons that enhance both artistic and educational goals.

•       Define, evaluate and establish measurable artistic goals and objectives that can be implemented in the classroom to support student learning.

•       Arrange and participate in student recruitment and manage communication with families. Ensure enrollment data for each student is collected and entered in the Active Network database.

•       Nurture and maintain professional and positive relationships with classroom teachers, school administration, student families and other CAP teaching artists.
