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, and the application deadline is 5:00pm on Monday, April 7. Apply today!
