    I highly recommend this blog for Theatre Teachers of all ages. It's current, well written, filled with pleasing visuals, and easy to navigate.

    Blog creator Janine Moyer Buesgen focuses her posts on books, plays, and journal articles published in the last five years. She monitors current events and relates readings and resources to teaching and creating theatre in schools and extra-curricular contexts.

    Her content is categorized by:

    Books, Plays for Production, Games and Exercises, Creative Drama, and Resources for Theatre Teachers

    There's a weekly Educational Theatre News Roundup that features resources from Google News alerts, RSS feeds, and social media follows.     

    Under Book Reviews, Buesgen targets recently published works including:

            Preparing Educators for Arts Integration

    Integrating Drama into Other Subjects

    Doing Dramaturgy in Educational Theatre

    Barrier-Free Theatre: Including Everyone in Theatre Arts – in Schools, Recreation, and Arts Programs – Regardless of (Dis)Ability

    plus

    Theatre Education Classics like: Creative Dramatics: An Art for Children

    Her Play Overviews provide all the details that will help educators know whether they want to examine new scripts for production. Her latest reviews include:

    Mirror of Most Value: A Ms. Marvel Play
    Squirrel Girl Goes to College: A Squirrel Girl (and Tippy Toe) Play
    Begets: Fall of a High School
