Resources for Educators

Overview

Our Education Advisory Committee gives teachers a voice in Geva’s educational programming and provides a strong connection to implement that programming back into the classroom. The committee consists of educators from public, private, and charter schools (elementary, middle school, and high school levels), representing inner city, suburban, and rural schools, and representatives from organizations that act as liaisons between cultural institutions and schools Typically, the Education Advisory Committee meets once in the fall and once in the spring.

How to Join the Education Advisory Committee

Geva’s Education Staff

Yes, we’re your resource, too! We are always thrilled to discover how our work can fuel your teaching goals and inspire your students. Especially during this period of time when students and educators are connecting through distance learning, we would be honored to serve as a resource for educators and students in any way that we can by providing resources, offering support and curricular inspiration, sharing in conversations with educators, or visiting your virtual classroom to join a discussion with your students about any aspect of theatre.

Please feel free to call or email us to share how we may be of assistance to you and your students!
