Strengthening the School Through Theater Arts

Strengthening the School Through Theater Arts is a program that serves students, their parents and teachers in inner-city elementary schools through training in the theater arts. It enables students to increase their cognitive skills development; it equips teachers with strategies to improve classroom management; and empowers parents to help their children become avid learners.

Teacher Evaluations:

The students loved the experience. More importantly, it helped them gain empathy and a deeper understanding for the novel we were studying and the issues/struggles the characters faced.

I think it really helps students get a better understanding of the subject matter and it makes it more enjoyable.
