Marquis Studios Teaching Assistants provide additional support in our after-school programs throughout all 5 boroughs of New York City. We offer diverse programming in the visual and performing arts. The Teaching Assistant program aims to match applicants with arts disciplines of their interest while providing meaningful teaching experiences. The ideal candidate will have a passion for arts education and experience working with students to enhance their knowledge of the arts.
Marquis Studios Teaching Artists lead in-school residencies, after-school residencies and workshops in New York City public schools. Our Teaching Artists work primarily with students in elementary schools, middle schools and extensively in District 75 schools, serving students with disabilities. Teaching Artists are responsible for creating engaging, well scaffolded lessons, while working collaboratively with classroom teachers to meet their students’ varying needs throughout their assigned residencies. Each residency results in a culminating event or an informal sharing that demonstrates skills that students have developed while participating in the program.
