This guide will assist Junior and Senior High School drama teachers in finding great resources to use in the classroom. If you need more help, our librarians welcome any questions you may have regarding your search.
Teaching Resources
- Drama Teacher’s Resource Index (last updated March 2017 – list of titles in our collection, includes descriptions)
*These indexes were made prior to the change to our new library program in 2019, so the indexes are not up to date. As KOHA (our new library catalog program) is easier to search, we will not be updating these indexes.
