Professional Development
Teaching as a Performing Art (TAPA)
24th Street Theatre’s TEACHING AS A PERFORMING ART Professional Development workshops are like no other, allowing educators to train on the stage of a professional theatre where the power of live music, lighting, and sound is used to help Teachers experience themselves as artists! We don’t just do PD, we inspire!
Professional Development At Its Finest
Acting is the art of persuasion, speaking, and listening. Engagement before information is one of our basic philosophies. Team members who discover themselves as performers have the power to use speaking as an opportunity for deeper connections and collaboration. Encouraging creativity and outside-the-box thinking make the workplace a constant opportunity for inventiveness. An “ensemble” who can adapt, improvise and create in the moment is a team full of imaginative and visionary professionals.
Guaranteed to make you remember why you became a teacher!
Teaching As a Performing Art is an excellent professional development opportunity specifically for educators, giving them strategies to integrate basic performance techniques in the everyday classroom. This inspiration makes their job more rewarding and creative, while creating students that are enthusiastic learners. Learning to think of teaching as a performing art as not a ‘set aside’ curriculum time, but rather as an approach that puts art making and constructivism to use in every aspect of a teacher’s day is a powerful tool. And literally sharing or mirroring excellent teaching strategies with each other is an important part of what we present.
