So I completely forgot about the fact that I never updated my status in terms of Drama Kids (it's only been 7+ months haha). I didn't get a head teaching position but I was offered the Teaching Apprenticeship, which I gleefully accepted. I moved to the Albany area back in June of last year with my boyfriend. I've really enjoyed Drama Kids. The kids are wonderful (with the exception of some rambunctious students here and there). I started classes in late September and am currently working with the kids during their January session. It took the new teachers and myself awhile to get into the rhythm of how the classes are structured and how the kids "operate."
Unfortunately I can't go into great depth about our curriculum because it would be a breach of contract; but what I can tell you is that we focus primarily on increasing each student's confidence and willingness for public speaking. Improvisational skills and speech are our main focus. It isn't a production based program, though we do present what we do in class to the parents.
