Covid-19 Update

The ABCDE is here for you!
​ 
Your ABCDE (Association of BC Drama Educators) executive committee colleagues have collaborated and started a living document that we invite all of you to both make contributions in and use for whatever works in your circumstance. 

​ We acknowledge that there are currently many different expectations in schools and homes around our province, and there are perhaps an overwhelming multitude of concerns during this unprecedented time. 
When world-altering challenges like this arise, coming together to support each other, get creative, and find a reason to play are some of the most positive and productive actions we can take to help reduce these stresses.

We encourage you to stay connected with your ABCDE community of support, stay healthy, and work together.  We have multiple platforms available for teachers to communicate with each other (our email list serve, ABCDE on Facebook, Twitter - @BCDRAMATEACHERS, Instagram - BCDrama). 
The documents collected here will be a resource we can continue to build and access in years to come.

**Please note that we don’t want anyone to edit within this document, but rather take lessons out and adjust for your circumstance and use.  Having said that, please contribute what you can for others to access.

Together apart as we all practice resilience and patience,

- Heather, Lana, Colin, Zelda, Brian, Gordon, Ryan, Laurie-Anne, Jenn and Coco

The Association of BC Drama Educators is designed to serve Drama teachers by providing help with professional development, resource availability and communication.

We hope that this web site will be a source of such information for you in your teaching practice, and show you there is a network of Drama teachers in BC committed to helping each other advocate and professionally develop.

Please feel free to contact any of the volunteer ABCDE Executive members with questions, comments, or ideas on how we might better serve your needs.
