Abstract
The article discusses the problem of teacher training for the mass use of theatrical activities in upbringing of schoolchildren. Preliminary work with teachers for the use of theatrical activities in upbringing practices with children with disabilities, which is considered as pedagogical propaedeutics, is described. The algorithm of teacher training is related not only to the age and personal characteristics of the development of special children, but also to the gradual expansion and complication of the sphere of communication with a theatrical personage. The article presents the results of intra-school research of the process of preparing teachers for theatrical activities of children with NODA (musculoskeletal disorders) and ASD (mental retardation) at Krasnye Zori boarding school in Peterhof (St. Petersburg) and the results of testing the algorithm of propaedeutic preparation of teachers for the use of theatrical activities in the upbringing of such school children. The content of the theatrical activity is based on samples of regional culture – fairy tales of the territory of the modern Leningrad region. The practical possibility of creating a network pedagogical community of several geographically separated schools (school network) based on the active use of theatricalization in lessons and extracurricular activities, including with the participation of parents, is discussed.
