WABASH, IN – Honeywell Arts & Entertainment hosted Acting Right – A Professional Development Workshop for educators at the Eagles Theatre on Tuesday, July 25. Led by Honeywell Director of Education Kristi Unger, the full-day workshop included content created by Acting Right author Sean Layne and offered educators the opportunity to learn new classroom management tools, earn professional growth plan points, and gain access to the Acting Right online curriculum to utilize in classrooms.
Acting Right is an approach using elements of acting to help students build skills like self-control, accountability, and team building. Patty Steele, a teacher at Southwood Elementary in Wabash County, states, “Acting Right teaches students what it looks like to have control of their bodies, how to focus, and how to be a better classmate through a series of age-appropriate lessons and activities.”
