The Michigan Wolf Trap Program is a partnership between Michigan AEYC and the Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts.

1. All points listed in "What a center director should know..."

2. The teacher and aides are expected to participate in all classroom sessions conducted by the artist. Teachers must remain in the room during residency sessions.

3. The teacher must be willing to devote the necessary time in program planning, scheduling, and implementation; this may require additional work hours and phone conversations with artists in the evenings or on weekends.

4. It is the job of the artist to work with the teacher in developing new and effective teaching strategies in the performing arts. The teacher must be willing to try to use these activities when the artist is not present, and also after the residency is completed.

5. The teacher will receive a Wolf Trap-designed handbook and accompanying cassette tape that should be used as resources in the classroom.
