Drama Across the Curriculum:
Practical Tools for Inclusive, Creative Teaching
Our Continued Professional Development (CPD) course Drama Across the Curriculum: Practical Tools for Inclusive, Creative Teaching has been developed by Elevator Arts as part of our mission to champion creative approaches in education.
This practical, hands-on training supports primary school teachers to use drama and creative strategies to deliver engaging, inclusive, and effective learning across the curriculum.
Rather than treating drama as a separate subject, this course shows how it can be embedded into everyday classroom practice to deepen understanding, improve engagement, and support all learners.
