DESCRIPTION:
This day is a unique opportunity to inform your teaching practice through peer observation and discussion and form stronger connections with theater teachers nearby. To accomplish this,
- We will observe Mark Rehani teach two middle school drama classes. Pay particular attention to their classroom routines, rituals, and community building. Think about your “Ah-ha!” and “I wonder…” moments.
- We will then travel to the high school to observe Glenn Morehouse Olson teach a combined Acting/Directing class for high school students.
- Following the classes, we’ll enjoy lunch together. Stephanie Lein Walseth will facilitate a discussion of our observations and other topics of interest to participants.
- Take away new ideas and strategies for your own teaching!
DETAILS:
The day is hosted by Dr. Stephanie Lein Walseth, Theater Education Specialist of Professional Development & Resource Programs at Perpich Center for Arts Education. There is no cost to participate. A certificate for 6 clock hours will be distributed at the end of the day.
Note: The maximum number of participants is 9. Registration will close when we reach that number.
