For Educators
The Patel Conservatory offers a variety of educational enhancement opportunities for teachers in the Tampa Bay community who are associated with public, private, and home schools, as well as colleges and universities. Our goal is to enable the integration of the performing arts into existing curricula, and to enhance critical thinking and the application of life skills. The Conservatory offers many opportunities to enhance the connection between performances and events at the Straz Center and your curriculum, both in and out of the classroom.
Field Trips, Tours, Study Guides
The foundation of the Straz Center’s educational programming is the Field Trip series. Each year students from public, private and home schools come to the Straz Center during the school day to enjoy high quality, age-appropriate productions.
