ENACT Staff to Celebrate Learning

This March, key ENACT staff members will once again participate in The Celebration of Teaching & Learning 2012! The event — presented by THIRTEEN and WLIW21— is a professional development conference that brings together the world’s best thinkers, practitioners, and more than 10,000 educators to share their passion for teaching and learning.
Show Up! 2011 was a Smash Hit!

BRAVO to all of the students and ENACT teaching artists who participated in Show Up! 2011, the end-of-year celebration for ENACT's Dropout Prevention programs. This year's event was better than ever with nearly 100 students from Legacy School for Integrated Studies, M.S. 363, Repertory Company High School for Theatre Arts and School for Legal Studies.

Kudos to all the students who SHOWED UP to showcase their newfound social, emotional, behavioral and theatrical skills. The audience got a glimpse into how ENACT has helped students identify and manage their emotions and behavior to deal with the obstacles they face on daily basis.

Special thanks to the New York City Council, the United Way of New York City and Council Member Robert Jackson, our keynote speaker, and John Leguizamo for his video address with words of encouragement to the kids.
