Theatre in the Classroom
A Workshop for Teachers |
|
|
What: Theatre in the Classroom explores methods of integrating theatre into existing curriculum in other disciplines. Theatre can truly be a powerful path to almost all other subjects and the “Things You Are Teaching”. Through our workshop we will open doors to literature, history, social studies and language and make connections between these subjects and theatre. We aim to give teachers a toolbox full of exercises, methods, ideas and plans to bring excitement and interest into established curriculum. Utilizing theatre arts classroom techniques and exercises we will explore the various connections that can be made between theatre and the non-arts based classroom. (Typically, the workshop is an hour and half long, but can be lengthened or shortened to suit your needs.)
Where: YOUR SCHOOL. We will come to you if you can assemble a group of 8 or more teachers and a big, open room.
When: You tell us. We will work out a time to come to your school that is convenient for you and your faculty.
Why: Chicago Public Schools teachers get 2 CPDU credits.
