Professional Development for Teachers

“You must attend…It is good for your teaching but – more importantly – your spirit.“
– Cohort One participant

In 2024, the Court Theatre Education Initiative launched a brand-new summer professional development opportunity for teachers, called Dramatic Literacy: Unlocking Text-Based Play. We are thrilled that this workshop is expanding to five days of CPDU-eligible hours in 2025. Participants will be invited to develop curriculum-building skills centered in theatre-based practices through partnered activities, field experience, and learning sessions. 

This year’s Dramatic Literacy workshop will take place August 4 – 8, 2025.

Please reach out to the Court Theatre Education Initiative with any questions. For more information on this and other education programs at Court Theatre, join our email list for our quarterly Education newsletter, The Backpack.
