PROFESSIONALDEVELOPMENT


Classroom teacher, Eustacia Wilson, participates in a Postcard Production Workshop at TTI.


Professional Development opportunities enhance an educator's ability to use theatre as an effective teaching tool across all disciplines. Roundabout’s innovative Theatrical Teaching Framework utilizes basic theatrical elements such as theme, plot, spectacle and character and establishes parallels to educational components such as academic content, lesson plan structure, classroom setting and teaching demeanor.


RTC Teaching Artists participate in a professional development workshop.
