Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you’re a preservice teacher planning to teach the theatre arts, an in-service secondary teacher considering a foray into teaching theatre, or a theatre professional considering the classroom, there’s a lot to learn. But you don’t have to know everything to teach well from the start, you just need Theatre in the Secondary School Classroom. Theatre in the Secondary School Classroom is the trusty guide that every new theatre teacher will be grateful to have as a ready reference. It’s not an encyclopedia on secondary theatre, but a collection of musts that every beginning instructor needs to know. Theoretical, practical, and friendly, Theatre in the Secondary School Classroom introduces key instructional methods and successful strategies, and works through the problems of practice that face all instructors, regardless of their experience. With discussions of finding appropriate spaces (both personal and physical), assessing students’ learning, encouraging involvement, and more, you’ll find the crucial information you need to hit the ground running. Patterson, McKenna-Crook, and Ellington provide numerous illustrations, model letters to parents, work samples, rubrics, checklists, and example test questions to show you precisely how the nitty-gritty of theatre education plays out. In addition each chapter contains suggested extension activities for students, Internet links to valuable resources and research materials, and experience-won hints on topics of specific interest to the new theatre teacher.

Download or read book Signs of Change written by Joan Lazarus and published by Heinemann Drama. This book was released on 2004 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the world of secondary theatre education, the impetus for change can arise at any moment because the needs of our adolescents and the conditions under which we teach them are in constant motion. How do successful theatre teachers keep pace with change while continuing to create student-centered, life-changing educational experiences? As a veteran theatre educator, Joan Lazarus recognizes that there is no one-size-fits-all answer; that's why, in researching Signs of Change, she interviewed 100 different members of the field to see how real teachers cope with the shifting demands of theatre education. Lazarus gives you a glimpse of active, dynamic professionals in motion-hurdling obstacles, tweaking ideas, or completely overhauling their curriculum in response to the challenges their programs face. You'll go behind the scenes and discover theatre education innovations that work, methods to make them happen in your school, and inspiring stories of how these changes will improve both your teaching and the lives of your students. Change can come without warning and it can seem scary, but it can also stimulate a level of professional growth you never imagined possible. With her emphasis on best practices, hands-on activities drawn from her interviews, and rock-solid educational theory to back it all up, Joan Lazarus will change how you look at your practice, and how you look at change.

This indispensable guide, whose theoretical and philosophical underpinnings and practical classroom applications endow it with a lifetime of use, includes ideas for resource portfolios, checklists, rubrics, and other assessment tools. Of additional value are discussions concerning managing the classroom, linking school play production with classroom learning, and recognizing and responding to classroom diversity. Patterson details important considerations and resources for planning productions, ranging from those available from professional organizations to those found within the community to those generated by students.

Through thirty personal meditations, the authors pose reflective questions and discussion prompts that evaluate the craft of teaching theater, issues that arise, and ideas about how to respond with vision and integrity. Accompanying exercises invite readers to reflect on their own teaching practices. This book serves as a text for theater teachers and teachers-in-training in search of inspiration, validation, and transformation in drama education and theater pedagogy classes.
