At Your School

In-School Residencies

Imagination Stage’s arts integration and theatre arts residencies are designed to enhance student learning during their school day. In arts integration residencies, students deepen content understanding by exploring the connections between an art form and an academic subject. In theatre arts residencies, classes focus on high-quality dramatic play, storytelling, and performance training from professional teaching artists.

Residency sessions typically run between 45-90 minutes, and are available for students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12.

Explore examples of in-school residencies, and contact our team to discuss options for your school.

Professional Development

Our professional development initiatives use an experiential approach that provides teachers with both a theoretical and practical foundation for integrating arts-based instructional strategies into their pedagogy.

 

Workshop themes include cultivating creativity for early learners, the fundamentals of teaching drama, STEM to STEAM strategies, and more. Professional development sessions can be flexibly arranged with your school or school district’s schedule in mind. In the past, sessions have been as short as 1-3 hours, or as long as five full days.

 

We have led sessions with teachers from the Office of the State Superintendent of Education in Washington, DC; Montgomery County Public Schools; the DC Arts and Humanities Education Collaborative; and DC Project Zero (a partnership with Harvard University).
