Spark
OCT’s Professional Development Program offers a variety of engaging, interactive, arts-based workshops for educators and faculty that provide in-depth learning techniques to deepen their understanding of SEL-based skills—such as mindfulness and neurodiversity in the classroom—so they can effectively manage their classrooms while also providing students a safe space in which to thrive.
We believe that theatre skills are life skills, and all children deserve access to arts education. If costs are a barrier, funding assistance is available for most of our in-school programs.
