UW onCue
- "Bring alive" key topics in classrooms, which results
in far higher student engagement and increased retention of the material.
Our "Theater of Exploration"
is a form of experiential education that is especially suited for "sticky" or "messy" topics.
- Allow students to practice high-stakes, emotionally-charged interactions
in a safe and controlled environment. Our Laboratories With No Consequences™ allows
students to interact directly in learning-objective -based scenes
that have been called "indistinguishable from real-life"
by participants.
- Create a sense of community in the classroom. When students feel
that they are a part of a community instead of isolated individuals,
their learning is increased, there is more mutual support, and they
are more likely to complete the course.
- Develop faculty teaching and classroom management skills. Performing,
as distinct from "entertaining,"
is at the heart of master-level teaching. We enhance educators' ability
to be comfortable, clear and present in front of students. We also
provide TA training.
