This school year we are happy to welcome Ms. Morgan to our school. She is from the Cleveland Playhouse and will be with us all year as the teaching artist in residence for both CARE and Theatre. Classes K-8 will have assigned times that they will go to the STREAM Lab for CARE and the gym for Theatre.
What Is Care?
CARE (Compassionate Arts Remaking Education) is a theatre education program that draws on lessons from social-emotional learning theories, trauma-informed care, and evidence-based literacy learning for students in grades K-8. It uses theatre techniques and exercises to help students develop empathy and broaden their understanding of each other and the world around them, empowering them with valuable tools that can be applied throughout their lives. CARE helps students improve English Language Arts achievement through an engaging curriculum that is aligned with the Common Core and focused on both individual and collective exploration of emotions through dramatic texts, video, and computer apps.
To make our CARE program possible, we have partnered with the Cleveland Playhouse (CPH) with funding from the Ohio Arts Council (OAC)
