Would you like to build on your ability to use the creative arts to aid learning in the classroom? This July 3-7 Baboró International Arts Festival for Children presents a five-day EPV Department of Skills and Education approved summer course, which has been specially designed to explore the use of drama, both as a subject as well as a methodology.
The aim of this CPD course is to inspire and augment learning in the classroom and enrich the professional practice of teachers and educators. A limited number of tickets remain.
The course provides participants with an opportunity to gain insights and practical tools to explore drama in the classroom in a safe and relaxed environment, supported and mentored by drama specialist and primary teacher Irene O’Meara.
The emphasis is on process drama and enhancing teacher and child experience in the classroom.
WHO IS THIS CPD FOR? This professional development course is suitable for teachers and professionals working with children, who are enthusiastic about gaining useful drama tools to support their teaching via an integrated approach within the primary curriculum, and using drama games and strategies to enable their students to become directly involved in their own learning.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN? The course has a practice-based approach, and offers participants five days of rich, fun and engaging learning, enabling them to enjoy engaging in drama activities with students in a confident manner while exploring a broad range of stimuli for the creation of drama. It will also help participants to feel better equipped to deepen students’ experience of the arts via simple exercises in pre and post engagement.
