Professional Staff Development
To bring the benefits of its programs to a wider audience, ENACT offers professional staff development workshops to help school administrators and teachers in Grades K to 12 integrate ENACT techniques into classroom and teaching strategies. The workshops provide comprehensive, hands-on instruction to school staff, enabling them to:
- Communicate more effectively with students, parents, and colleagues
- Explore pedagogically-proven techniques for identifying at-risk behavior
- Effectively incorporate drama into their teaching as a way of facilitating an effective learning environment
- Help students achieve New York State Learning Standards, with particular emphasis on the English Language Arts and Theatre curricula
Past workshop topics have included:
- Problem-Solving in the Classroom
- Key Elements of Communication
- Making it Safe for Students to Learn
- Drama as a Teaching Tool
- Stress Management
- Goal Setting
- Building a Winning Environment for Learning
ENACT offers a co-teaching series, as well as three-day and one-week training institutes, and can tailor programs to the specific needs of each school.
