​The RI Interscholastic Improv League's primary service comes in placing a teaching artist at one of our participating schools. They work together with a professional educator to make a curriculum that both teaches students about the English and Language Arts Common Core standards about creating narratives while also showing them how to create their own improvised theater. They then execute that curriculum either afterschool or during the school day depending on what works best for their community. At the end of our year long programs, our students form teams and perform together in a series of collaborative, interscholastic and completely improvised public shows using a format called Theatresportstm.

​
However, the League is adaptable and changeable to what the participating school community needs. We tailor our work to support any existing programs that a school may have or wish to start. As a result, we've done everything from exploring the world of improvised music for a conference presentation and performance at Rhode Island College to supporting students with special needs as they experience the arts for the first time. We also work with the professional educators at our participating schools to support their efforts in the classroom and provide them with new tools to reinforce their already formidable teaching skill sets.
