Professional Development


Writing, Literature, Music and Songwriting Workshops for Teachers of grades K-12

Troubadour's master writer/educators engage teachers in the art forms of writing and music, and offer an approach to infusing the literary arts into the classroom curriculum. Troubadour has developed highly successful models for staff development through staff workshops, coaching and collaborative learning, and partnership teaching. As teachers begin to feel comfortable using new approaches, they can integrate these techniques into their own teaching styles with confidence. Troubadour offers the following workshops for K-12 staff development as well as in undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education programs at colleges and universities.
