As you may have discovered, teaching theatre is HARD. It’s not like other subjects; no one plans your lessons for you. You are likely the only teacher that does what you do in your school. I want you to know that you are not alone.

Teaching style
Project Based Learning (PBL) is the core of what I do. It's hands-on, Montessori-style education, where students have choices and get learn how to think critically to solve problems. I find that when I teach students the basics and provide them a set of checkpoints, they thrive in the freedom. This comes only after I have strictly taught them how to use supplies and respect each other in class. I like to incorporate a lot of fun, hence the squirrel theme.
