The Shakespeare Society's Educational Programs The Shakespeare
Society’s educational outreach program is based on the belief
that through our work students not only come to a better
understanding and appreciation of Shakespeare, they also learn
more about themselves and their relationships with others.
Reading, acting, and discovering Shakespeare’s plays can be a
profoundly personal journey for students and their teachers. The
Shakespeare Society views each educational program as a
laboratory not only to develop literary and performance-based
skills, but also to nurture skills that serve students
throughout their lives, these include listening and responding,
public speaking, self-presentation, diction and enunciation,
relaxation techniques, physical and emotional self-assessment,
self-discipline, and teamwork. Importantly, The Shakespeare
Society’s educational programs integrate current academic goals
and the New York State Board of Education learning standards.
