Teachers CertificationThe National Academy of Needlearts offers a Teachers' Certification Program which includes training in all aspects of embroidery instruction, from the development of teaching and presentation skills to study in design and color and the production of the written work necessary for the successful teaching of needle arts. NAN's program is suited to either the novice or the experienced teacher of the needlearts who wishes to develop and refine her/his instructional skills. Full certification requires three years of intensive study. During that time the candidate designs and develops several classes in her/his chosen medium, and compiles a viable portfolio of her/his own original teaching pieces. Book critiques, color and design notebooks, and oral teaching presentations complete the certification process. In addition, the candidate also participates in several hands-on teaching experiences. The oral presentation and the display of the candidate's embroidered work are among the highlights of the Certification Weekend, held in conjunction with the NAN Assembly for Embroiderers. For additional information about the Teachers' Certification Program or about attending the Teachers' Certification Workshop, please contact the Director.
