These starter materials will help kickstart the Drama program at our school. I want to create an inviting classroom where students will have the space to be creative and express themselves through performing arts.
A drama classroom needs to allow for movements big and small.
I am requesting flexible seating to allow space for the students to express themselves and move around freely without the constraints of desks and traditional chairs. Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
