Hello, wonderful theatre educators!
As the new school year approaches, now is the perfect time to start planning for a successful year in your theatre classroom. Join me for practical, engaging workshops packed with ready-to-use tips, tools, and strategies for designing and implementing a strong theatre curriculum. Whether you're looking to improve standards-based grading, streamline lesson planning, or explore AI tools for the theatre classroom, you'll leave with resources you can use immediately.
If you're new to directing, don't miss Directing for Beginners, where you'll learn practical steps to producing a school play-from selecting the right script and holding auditions to casting, running rehearsals, managing performances, and building an effective student production crew. You'll walk away with practical strategies and the confidence to lead your next production successfully.
Some schools are already getting back in the classroom, so I'm also offering an additional Curriculum & Lesson Planning workshop on Saturday, August 22, dedicated to helping you map out units, organize assessments, and create engaging lessons that will set your students up for success all year long.
Whether you're a first-year teacher or a seasoned theatre educator, these workshops are designed to help you save time, reduce stress, and start the school year feeling prepared, organized, and inspired.
