Elise Czyzowska
Senior Content Marketing Executive
Earlier this year, Digital Theatre+ launched our Training Academy, an on-demand training experience where users can learn how to optimize the DT+ platform to suit their teaching needs.
We are thrilled to announce that in addition to these training videos, users can now access over 20 hours of certified professional development, all as part of their subscription to Digital Theatre+.
Here's what you need to know about this new offering...
Previously available as on-demand recordings, we have added 16 of our most popular webinars and courses to Digital Theatre+, meaning teachers can now earn PD credits and apply their learning, all in one place!
These courses include topics and discussions tailored to middle school, high school, and higher education professionals – allowing you to vary your learning between practical classroom tips and more advanced, wide-ranging discussions on the arts.
Speakers include director Emma Rice, Frantic Assembly's Scott Graham, and theatremakers such as Javaad Alipoor, Luis Valdez, and Edward James Olmos. These artists are joined in conversation by a range of educators and critics, each offering years of classroom and real-world experience.
What else can you expect?
✓ Ready-to-use teaching ideas and practical classroom strategies
✓ Instant access to the full DT+ resource library to help apply your learning
✓ Auto-generated Completion Certificates to credit your training hours
