Introduction To Theater Blueprint professional development
The Office of the Arts and Special Projects provides citywide
professional development in the implementation of the Blueprint
for Teaching and Learning in the Arts. Professional development
sessions are led by master teachers—outstanding public
school arts teachers identified by the DOE—and teaching
artists—professional artists from local cultural organizations.
During these sessions, teachers explore the five Blueprint
strands of arts education and learn strategies for lesson plan
building and engaging children in the arts. Teachers participate
in hands-on projects, allowing them to directly apply the lessons
learned at training sessions to their classrooms.

Theater and Innovative Technologies will explore the dynamic intersection of theater, technology and education in the classroom and studio. Guided by the expertise of the Artistic Director and founder of C&T theater company from England, teachers will engage in experiential training in authentic and innovative ways to engage their students in theater incorporating the virtual world with which our students are already so comfortable.
Building synergies between the languages of theatre and digital media, C&T create interactive dramas that activate communities and shape the next generation of global literate citizens. The course offers theater techniques and approaches and a practical and critical framework for using digital technologies and media in teacher classroom practice. Teachers need only have a basic comfort with technology. The course aligns with the Blueprint for Teaching & Learning in Theater and activates aspects of the Common Core ELA capacities. Teachers will receive significant resources at every session.
