Читать книгу Start & Run an Art Teaching Business - Tanya Freedman - Страница 12

Before starting out on your own, and depending on your confidence and experience, you may want to become a part-time or full-time apprentice or take a teaching job. There is no better way to learn the ropes than by witnessing trade secrets while working alongside other teachers or an art school owner.

You will become aware of how much work goes into all the programs and the smooth workings of a school, and the many hats an owner has to wear. You will see what types of pitfalls could be in store for you in your own enterprise later on. It may prove to be an invaluable experience.

And of course, you can go back to school yourself, as a student, if only to take a short course or workshop. Your local colleges, business resource centers, and libraries can provide you with a list of programs, whether they are business related, or related to theories of teaching and instruction. This is also a great way to form a social network.
