Our new students have been learning and developing the skills they will use to bring our Stop Homophobic Bullying training to teachers. These young artists explore both scripted and improvisational acting techniques that will be instrumental to the impact of our program.
They have also been exploring and sharing their own personal relationships with homophobia in an environment of trust and respect. Their perspectives and thoughts on the issue are a powerful part of these trainings, offering teachers invaluable insight into what their students might be experiencing and feeling.
Additionally, we are exploring opportunities to bring our Stop Homophobic Bullying training to Teaching Programs at the University level. We are very excited about the prospect of incorporating this program into the curriculum for students on the verge of becoming teachers. This focus on issues of student safety and inclusion within Teaching Programs will not only serve their students as these teachers begin their careers, but it will also signify that these are priorities within the profession.
Our young artists are excited to bring this program to teachers, both current and future, and to have an impact on the lives of countless students.
