Educational Value

Our Drama Kids developmental drama classes and unique teaching methods help all children, from the shy to the outgoing, discover their full potential.  Drama Kids develops all kids and teaches them skills they will use throughout their lives to become confident and creative thinkers. Our fully-trained and qualified Developmental Drama instructors are eager to provide weekly programming that helps develop every student’s communication skills, physical education, language arts, literacy, and self-confidence. Significantly, our developmental drama program design is research-based with a sequential curriculum that aligns to Common Standards in English Language Arts, in Physical Education, and in Theater. All drama activities encourage students to build their foundational reading skills, including identifying key details in a story, re-telling stories, and building vocabulary. Students strengthen their oral communication, grammar, poise, and articulation. Further, our goals to develop every child’s literacy and communication skills, creative thinking, and confidence are met by offering arts activities that directly impact academic benefits; the link between arts engagement and student success has been thoroughly proven. The Arts Education Partnership, a division of the Council of Chief State School Officers, is a national coalition of more than 100 education, arts, cultural, government, business, and philanthropic organizations. Its 2017 research brief, Preparing Students for the Next America, notes that “Drama instruction increases reading readiness and word fluency in early grades and continues to improve reading comprehension and writing skills throughout middle and high school.” Student engagement and resilience are also associated with the creative arts, “Arts education helps make learning matter to students by giving them a medium to connect new knowledge to personal experiences and express what they have learned to others.…Students who receive arts integrated instruction have higher attendance than those who do not.”  https://www.aep-arts.org/resources-by-topic/ Drama Kids classes feature new lesson plans, scenes, and activities each week. Each class features many different components, including whole class plays, speech, scene starters, and small group improvisations.  Each class meets once weekly for one hour after school or in the evenings.  Our programs can be found in schools and various community center locations including: Worthington Westerville Dublin Hilliard Reynoldsburg Obertz Olentangy Delaware City Gahanna
