The Teaching Artist Training Fellowship at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park is designed to provide pedagogical training in a practical environment for emerging artists interested in pursuing work as a teaching artist. During the summer, fellows will serve as camp counselors for Playhouse summer camps, which includes working as teaching assistants and group leaders.

In the following weeks, fellows will begin the transition from assistant teacher to co- and lead teachers. As Teaching Artist Fellows/counselors, participants in the training program will help to facilitate all aspects of camp. Throughout the day counselors facilitate their group's activities, complete check-in and check-out of students, proctor camper breaks, support Teaching Artists as teaching assistants during classes, and serve as role models who assist and motivate campers, among other projects, as assigned.
