The Opportunity-to-Learn Standards (OTLS) for theatre instruction are a guide for theatre educators and their administrators that detail the resources middle and high school teachers need to ensure that students have the best opportunity to achieve in a curricular theatre arts program.The OTL Standards do not identify specific curriculum that a theatre educator needs within a theatre program. Rather, they offer guidance on the curriculum and scheduling, staffing, resources and equipment, safety elements, and facilities that must be in place in order to meet the standards suggested in the 2014 National Core Theatre Standards.
