By G. G. HODSON
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was the senior inspector for drama for LCC/ILEA 1960-1985, and led the team developing drama teaching in London schools.
We sought inspiration and guidance from first class practioners, and organised courses for teachers to improve their classroom performances and their careers.
Publication of articles and a book (DRAMA GUIDELINES) were an integral part of that process.
16 years after my retirement, I am thrilled to see how much that work has developed. DRAMA TO INSPIRE (what a title!) details several approaches to motivate teachers without being prescriptive.
This book has my highest recommendation
