Teacher Development Workshops
Designed for educators and school administrators
Program runs for three hours
These informative workshops allow educators to earn Continuing Professional Development Units (CPDUs) while refining their teaching practice.  Designed to help teachers integrate dance into their curricula, these interactive sessions bring life and energy to school subjects such as language arts and social studies. 

Scheduled Workshops
The Joffrey will offer Teacher Development Workshops in January and April 2010. These three-hour workshops help educators use dance to motivate students and renew their enthusiasm for learning.  Each workshop provides three CPDUs.
