ABSTRACT

This article is the second in a pair examining my experience leading 30 educators through professional development training on the SPEAK Young Women’s Vocal Empowerment Curriculum in Guatemala. To guide my examination, I have looked to the question, What does it take to train non-teaching artists in the skills needed to lead a curriculum traditionally taught by teaching artists? This article seeks to answer this question through the lens of our “Voz Empoderada Diplomado” or “Vocal Empowerment Certificate Program,” which took place in 2019. In this second installment, I outline the structure of the Diplomado, explore the challenges we faced, and share our lessons learned for training educators in teaching artists’ approaches in the future.

摘要

本文是第二对文章，通过对SPEAK危地马拉青年声乐赋权课程的专业发展培训，对我带领30位教育工作者的经历进行了考察。为了指导考试，我考虑了一个问题，即如何培训非教学艺术家掌握领导传统上由教学艺术家教授的课程所需的技能？本文旨在通过我们于2019年开展的“ Voz Empoderada Diplomado”或“人声赋权证书计划”的镜头来回答这个问题。在第二部分中，我概述了Diplomado的结构，探讨我们面临的挑战，并分享我们的经验教训，以培训教育工作者将来教授艺术家的方法。
