Professional Development for Teachers

The demands on teachers are ever-changing as the divide between student skill levels and learning styles increase. Arts-infused learning is an effective strategy to address student achievement. Professional development workshops offer classroom teachers of all grade levels practical, hands-on strategies that enhance students’ learning experience. The strategies and curriculum for professional development workshops align with the standards of learning for D.C., VA and MD. The workshops focus on:

Improving critical thinking, problem-solving and decision-making skills
Increasing literacy skills
Fostering higher order and transferable thinking skills such as analysis, synthesis and reflection
Developing increased capability in the areas of imagination, creativity and judgment.
Creating arts-infused lesson plans

Host a professional development workshop at your school or bring your teachers to the Shakespeare Theatre Company rehearsal studios for an all day retreat! For a more intensive program to transform theory into practice in the classroom please view our Classics in the Classroom program.
