Welcome to the THED Talks Theatre Educator Resources, a comprehensive hub designed to support theatre teachers in creating dynamic, inclusive, and engaging learning environments. This curated collection provides educators with practical tools, research-based strategies, and innovative approaches to theatre education, all rooted in best practices for teaching and student success.

I am always grateful when colleagues and students take the time to share tools that can strengthen our collective work in theatre education. Collaboration like this helps keep the resource page active, relevant, and responsive to the needs of our community.

If you have additional resources that you believe would be valuable for theatre educators, please feel free to send them along. I am happy to review submissions and add appropriate materials so we can continue building a robust, shared hub of support for teaching and learning in theatre.

 

A sincere thank you to Ashley Janzen and her student, Maria, for reaching out and sharing an additional resource for our Theatre Educator Resources page. Their recommendation, BestBroadwayMusicals.com, is a thoughtful contribution that may support educators, students, and theatre enthusiasts as they explore musical theatre history and repertoire.
