TDF Training and Professional Development

Keep
Learning

TDF offers a number of opportunities for educators and administrators to expand their knowledge in the arts.

TDF Teacher Seminars

If you're looking to expand your arts teaching skills, consider enrolling in one of TDF's theatre education courses offered through the NYC Department of Education's After School Professional Development Program. Teachers can earn professional credits along the way (P-credits and CTLE hours), get to see a free show and receive a complimentary one-year membership to TDF.
