Originally funded by a million dollar grant from the US Department of Education, Drama Frames is a job-embedded professional development model that works one-on-one with teachers to integrate drama into their curriculum.
Childsplay’s EYEPlay Program (Early Years Educators at Play) was adapted from the Drama Frames model of professional development to meet the specific needs of Early Childhood Education.
A bite-size version of EYEPlay, this multi-week program offers PreK-2nd grade educators the opportunity to work one-one-one with a professional teaching artist to integrate drama practices into your classroom.
Childsplay develops and facilitates professional development workshops for schools and districts based on their specific, unique goals and needs.
For the past 40 years, Childsplay has had the honor to deliver a wide variety of educational and professional development programming to many schools across the state of Arizona. Below is a list of schools Childsplay partnered with between 2013 and 2016. We are proud to have created in school, afterschool, and/or professional development programs for their students and teachers.
