'Learning to Teach Drama 11-18 is aimed at the student teacher, but all trainees and newly trained teachers should find its practical, encouraging approach useful on organisation, use of workplace, material, planning, building relationships with pupils, dealing with behavior, assessment, personal reflection and so on.' The Times Educational Supplemement * Blurb from reviewer *
'This is a comprehensive guide to the subject that has now been adopted by many universities as a set text...In an exceedingly user-friendly style the reader is guided to develop their subject knowledge, plan and manage the drama classroom, as well as focussing on monitoring and assessment...a one-stop resource not just for the aspiring drama teacher but all students in training.'
