TEACHER TRAININGS for
Professional Development
Would you like to create a learning atmosphere in which your students remember more and grasp concepts easily? Get them out of their seats and let them experience the lesson through expressive arts. Theater and storytelling can enrich learning in several ways: to help students focus and develop positive attitudes toward learning, and to enable you to teach new information in a way that involves them. Expressive arts also build communication skills and makes classroom management easier.
Use guided visualization and interviews to help a student personify and better understand any object or person. Discover how to capture a story in images, structure it and make it into a play. Help students use their research to create and role-play characters, dramatize an event, or write and act out a story.
Develop a joyous, inclusive environment which improves students’ ability to absorb and retain what they’ve learned. Use their kinesthetic and other intelligences in experiential learning which stirs their motivation to learn, and improves their results in MCAS and other standardized tests.
