Needless to say, my initial attempts at blogging my experiences developing a Creative Drama program for a variety of youth on the autism spectrum failed horribly! Not from lack of interest or desire...but TIME!!!! Who would have thought that developing six spectrum specfic drama lessons a week would consume so much of my time.
But trust me, it was time I was more than willingly to take. Never has a project so fulfilled, so challenged, so frustrated and so completely rewarded me.
It's a new semester. Supported with a new round of grant monies and energized by both my Spectrum and UNI drama students I am ready to continue and expand and improve upon the work started last January.
I have asked my student partners in this project to join me in this blogging adventure. They will periodically post reflections on the work, their professional growth and their personal insights.
Thanks for joining us!
Teaching takes up more of your life than time...it takes a lot of energy too, Gretta.
