In a partnership spanning two school years, designer Shirlee Idzakovich worked with theatre educators Jessica Shaw and Joanna Fellows Chilcoat to develop two units on costuming that effectively teach students to design and construct costumes. In this webinar, Jessica and Shirlee share two model cornerstone assessments (units of instruction with models of assessment) and student work samples to illustrate how to begin teaching your students costume design and construction. Great for anyone who wants to start teaching these subjects. Length: 60 minutes
