Strengthening Social and Emotional Learning through Drama and Discourse
MAY 2021
For Middle and High School Teachers of English, Writing, and Theater; Counselors; all other educators helping teens develop their social and emotional identities through discourse or drama.
Over the past 15 years, storyteller Paula Davidoff and writer/director Carolyn Hunt have developed a unique process that encourages teens to talk through their concerns, externalize their emotions through dramatic writing, and take the lead in developing performances for community members that reflect their insights about teen life.
In their new book, Raising Voices: Creating a Safe Space for Girls to Speak Out, Carolyn and Paula describe the process they use to tap the power of personal stories turned into plays collaboratively written, performed, and discussed in post-performance conversations. Plays about sensitive subjects like immigration, racism, gender identification, poverty, pregnancy - in addition to those about the common problems every teen has faced - inspire meaningful conversations that help bridge the gap between diverse populations.
Join Paula and Carolyn for a three-hour journey that will give you the foundation for understanding the methods they have successfully used in their work as leaders of the groundbreaking Girls Surviving program in the Morris School District.
