Resources for Instructors

To ensure that IP’s educational strategies are successful we have provided resource materials and curriculum for instructors to use in their classrooms both pre and post performance. Because the IP concentrates on different topics each term some of the curriculum is designed to accompany specific topics and others are more general and could be utilized and adapted for a variety of performances. In this way instructors are able to deepen the learning students gain through participating in Illumination Project performances.
