Ohio Drama/Theatre Standards
Ohio's Learning Standards for drama/theatre emphasize experiences and understanding in areas of the craft. The intent of the standards is to create opportunities for students of all abilities to participate and learn in drama/theatre through the following Artistic Processes:
- Creating
- Performing
- Responding
- Connecting
The new standards provide teachers with a framework that closely matches the unique goals of their specialized classes. The standards are presented in a grade-by-grade sequence from kindergarten through grade 8, and at three high school levels: Proficient, Accomplished, and Advanced. The standards are organized by artistic processes, which represent the principal ways drama/theatre instruction can be delivered in the classroom.
