The Teaching Artists of Troupe d’ Jour

equip students and educators with fresh

techniques for understanding poetry,

and enjoying it.

​

Our strategies bear proven results

in the classroom, on test days,

and for lifelong learning.

​

We incorporate all learning styles,

thereby engaging each student

for her/his fullest participation.

 

*TdJ’s Spoken Word Events create opportunities for students to read or recite their original and favorite poems,

and thereby join our Said Poets’ Society!
