FOUNDATION

The foundation for the workshops comes from my experience designing and implementing curricula for low-income, minority students.  I am always striving to present ideas and concepts in effective and thought-provoking ways.  This has led me to develop new teaching techniques--and theater has proven to be most effective.  Students are immediately engaged in active learning while thinking outside the box.  The workshops focus on strengthening an array of academic skills that include:

• Critical thinking

• Social skills and teamwork

• Creativity

• Leadership

• Effective communication

• Problem-solving

• Time management

• Motivation

• Role-playing
