Roundabout Theatre Company Teaching Artists develop curriculum and facilitate sessions for various populations including students in grades 6鈥�12, educators, families, audiences, and other groups. Work is primarily distributed through in-school residencies, on-site workshops, community spaces, and audience engagement events. Programming occurs across NYC's 5 boroughs. Roundabout Teaching Artists sometimes teach their craft, but more frequently use their craft as a vehicle to teach leadership skills, develop social emotional competencies, build community, or connect to the content of another academic subject.
Teaching Artists are hired as part time employees. Starting hourly rate is $50 per hour for all planning/facilitation and $35 per hour for all required training and administrative tasks. This typically looks like 1 hour of paid lesson planning for each hour of facilitation. Upon completion of required training benchmarks, Teaching Artists can be promoted from the Training rank and earn from $53.06-$63.65 per hour as a Standard Teaching Artist and from $63.66-$78.34 per hour as an Expert Teaching Artist for all planning/facilitation.
