CPD for teachers
Drama is a dynamic and engaging subject in its own right, proven to develop a broad range of skills and disciplines in students, which have positive benefits across their education and post-education careers.
Drama is also a versatile pedagogy for teaching many subjects across the curriculum.Theatre Workout offers bespoke Continued Professional Development (CPD) workshops for teachers, designed to help them incorporate drama and theatre practice into their lessons, to use drama pedagogically, and to develop skills and knowledge in specific aspects of theatre practice to further their own teaching repetoire.
Popular Choices

-
