The Tennessee Department of Education maintains learning standards in theatre for all ages, from kindergarten to high school level (although these standards are deemed “non-tested.”) CTK uses these standards to form curricula for our Matinee Club and Imagi-Stage Classes. Students and parents may use these standards to evaluate how proficient learners are in creative dramatics. A link is also included here to a glossary of drama terms, compiled by TN-DOE.
“Want to boost literacy? Teach your child to imagine the unimaginable? Cultivate curiosity? Get thee to the theater, and bring your kids,” begins an article from Education Magazine entitled “Why Children’s Theater Matters.”
