“Introduction to Theater: Interpersonal Skills,” was created in Fall 2017 and developed to focus on interprofessional skill-building for students first entering the Professional Teamwork and Leadership Minor. Foundational material for this course comes from “Introduction to Theater” that utilizes Theatre and Performance models of teamwork to convey theatre content and counts as a student’s fine arts requirement. The new course design adds the exploration of interprofessional skills and provides hands-on applications of team and leadership skill-building while still counting toward the fine arts requirement and for the minor. Throughout the semester, students work in teams to create and write an original play that is produced and performed at the end of the semester which allows students to directly apply both content-area knowledge and team-based skills. Through this development, the course directly addresses the 4 C's of 21st Century Skills-Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, and Creativity-necessary for students to succeed in today's workforce. This talk is the third in a four-part series that details the major course components of the Professional Teamwork and Leadership minor. While the talk can absolutely be attended as a stand-alone, attending all four in the series will provide audience members with a better understanding of what this type of intentionally scaffolded curriculum can accomplish.
