Shakespeare Globe

Training for Teachers

Globe Education provides training for teachers offering active, practical approaches to Shakespeare that will inspire, enhance and develop classroom practice.

Globe Education works in partnership with organisations including QCA, the Secondary National Strategies and major exam boards to stay at the forefront of research and practice in creative learning.

If you cannot find a set course to meet your needs, Globe Education can devise a training day based around the objectives of your group - please see Tailor-Made Training at the bottom of this page.
