PROFESSIONAL LEARNING FOR EDUCATORS

Teacher notes
Detailed teachers' notes linked to SACSA, the South Australian curriculum framework are produced for each Windmill production. The notes include information relating to the creative team, pre-performance and post-performance ideas, curriculum tasks and other learning areas.

Workshops
A program of teacher workshops is developed for each Windmill production. The workshops are aligned to themes and ideas from the productions and feature directors, performers and creators of Windmill performances. These workshops provide a chance to connect the creative development with a quality in-theatre production.
