The first of its kind in the country, the La and Philip Engel Teacher Resource Center is an on-site collection of materials relating to teaching Shakespeare in the middle and secondary school classroom. It is located on the Theater's fourth level in the Charles and Susan Patten Education Suite. This special, non-circulating collection includes books, videos, periodicals, CD-ROMs and teachers' lesson plans. 

English Departments or individual teachers interested in visiting the Teacher Resource Center's collection, please call the Education Department at 312.595.5678 to make an appointment.

Teachers, share your best lesson plans with others! One of the most valuable tools in the Center is our collection of lesson plans donated by teachers. If you have a great activity that brings Shakespeare to life for your students, please brag to others about it!
