This self-care package includes a workbook, calendar, and posters to help focus on the essential questions: How can you become a practicing self-care, compassionate person who teaches educational theatre? How can you make time for self-care and compassion?

A school year calendar focused on the theme of Self-Care, with inspirational quotes from theatre educator Gai Jones.

She Kills Monsters by Qui Nguyen is a play that comes up time and time again in our drama class communities. To that end, we wanted to provide questions for reading the play in the classroom. • The Reading Questions provide pre- and post-reading questions for the play as well as questions throughout. • The Close-Reading Questions provide in-depth text-dependent questions for one scene of the play.

This Toolkit provides a variety of resource articles, tips, slide decks, videos, and handouts for you, the do-it-all drama teacher, who has to both direct and put together the costumes for a show. Further to that, perhaps you don’t have a lot of costuming experience and don’t have an extensive costume budget, but want to add this skill to your productions. Where do you start? Right here! You don’t have to know how to sew. You don’t have to know how to draw. You don’t have to create your costumes from scratch. This resource takes you from pre-rehearsal analysis right through to post-production strike. Enjoy!

This section includes practical application tools, such as costume measurements, three stitches, and additional tips.
