Throughout the course, students will apply the methods learned in their Temple classroom and in school district classrooms. Students will learn from each other through observation and discussion of the Teaching Artist methods implemented in class. Students will also learn from classroom Teachers, professional Teaching Artists and Education Directors from Philadelphia’s many professional theaters who will share their work and experience in the field.
