BACK FOR 2025!ELEMENTARY THEATRE FOCUS AREA: ARTS INTEGRATION, CREATIVE DRAMA and MOVEMENT Please Note: These classes are especially designed for classroom generalist teachers, librarians, special education, physical education, and gifted teachers. The 2025 Elementary Theatre track includes three areas of study: arts integration, creative drama, and movement. Participants attend one class in each area daily. In the arts integration classes, strategies are explored using the fine and performing arts to help facilitate learning across the entire curriculum; creative drama classes focus on ways teachers can use improvisational and non-performance aspects of theatre to create unique learning experiences; the movement classes participants learn to process, analyze and respond to sensory information through the language and skills distinct to dance. TRIO TRACK "Trio Track" offers a daily multidisciplinary experience that allows participants to attend a pre-designated class each day in music, theatre, and visual art. Participants attend the same core classes daily for the entire week, allowing complete immersion in one topic for each arts discipline. Like all TAA participants, teachers enrolled in Trio Track will attend all Academy performances, musings, interludes and special events. Space in these classes is limited. 2025 Registration Fees:
All Tennessee K-12 Teachers in any TAA area: $489.00
