AGIS Conference 2024 Potsdam

This session will introduce how to use Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) rehearsal room approaches to teach Shakespeare to secondary school students.

Participating in a session focused on RSC rehearsal room approaches equips English teachers with valuable insights into teaching Shakespeare and introduces strategies that inherently support Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles, making the experience more inclusive for all students.

The session guides educators in tailoring their teaching methods to engage diverse learners effectively. By integrating UDL approaches, teachers can customize their instruction to accommodate various learning styles, abilities, and preferences, ensuring that the exploration of Shakespeare becomes a more accessible and enriching experience for every student. This inclusive framework, embedded within RSC rehearsal techniques, empowers educators to create a classroom environment that embraces diversity, promotes equity, and fosters a deeper appreciation for Shakespearean works among all students. Thus, the session allows teachers to enhance their instructional repertoire and cultivate an inclusive and supportive learning atmosphere in the English classroom."
