Shakespeare Teacher Programs
Teaching Shakespeare Workshops, a partnership between the ESU and the world-renowned Folger Shakespeare Library, give teachers nationwide the tools that they need to bring Shakespeare to life in their classrooms. These workshops are lead by experts from the Folger National Teacher Corps and focus on the Folger Four (scholarship, performance, curriculum and assessment).

This workshop is a deeper dive for teachers who have previously participated in Folger professional development. The day will provide practice with engaging and rigorous techniques and focus on what the First Folio is, why it matters, and how teachers and students can use it in class. Learning about the printing of Shakespeare's works is most often a mind-blowing experience for teachers, and, for many, changes the way they—and their students—look at the texts forever. On this day, participants will not only workshop together but also tour the special exhibition First Folio! The Book That Gave Us Shakespeare, having made its way from the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, to the New-York Historical Society. Alongside fellow participants and staff from Folger, the ESU, and the New-York Historical Society, each participant will walk away with new knowledge about this historic book and its pedagogical possibilities.
