Teaching Shakespeare Institute
|
The Teaching Shakespeare Institute (TSI) is an intensive study program, which offers middle- and high-school teachers the opportunity to study several Shakespeare plays over the span of a summer month. It is a yearly program hosted by the Folger Shakespeare Library's Education Department, and has been supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities since its inception in 1984. As of 2015, over 775 teachers had gone through the program. As a result of its in-person workshops, TSI has published a set of Shakespeare Set Free guidebooks, which include sample lesson plans, activity ideas, and other teaching resources. These came out of the 1988 and 1989 Institute sessions, and were first released starting in 1993.<ref name="FM" /> Publications * Shakespeare Set Free: Teaching A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet, and Macbeth (1993, rev. 2006) * Shakespeare Set Free: Teaching Hamlet and Henry IV, Part 1 (1994, rev. 2006) * Shakespeare Set Free: Teaching Twelfth Night and Othello (1995, rev. 2006)
