Teaching Opportunity for Poets

The Salem Art Association is looking to hire a poet to teach in an area Middle School as part of Salem Association Art and Poetry Project.

In this very successful program, a poet works in a team consisting of an artist and a language arts teacher within the Salem school district to create a project incorporating art and poetry. Poets may work with between 25 -90 students depending upon what the team decides.

The resulting projects are exhibited at Bush Barn along with the students’ poetry reading.

The Salem Arts Association is currently seeking poets with teaching skills who are interested in such a project and working with Middle School students. The position is compensated along with paid professional development and planning time as well.

Interested poets can contact Ann Kresge, the School Arts Director for the Salem Art Association at:

600 Mission St. SE
Salem, OR 97302
503-581-2228 ext. 311
