A HIGH SCHOOL THEATRE TEACHER'S SURVIVAL
GUIDE |
|
Available at
amazon.com |
High school theatre programs are
vigorous and growing, but many
theatre teachers - drawn from
English, speech, or other
departments - lack degrees in
theatre. For them, as well as
for the seasoned teaching
veteran, Raina Ames provides an
indispensable companion. The
High School Theatre Teacher's
Survival Guide is a handy
reference for high school
theatre teachers covering both
curricular and extracurricular
problems - everything from how
to craft a syllabus for a
theatre class to what to say to
parents about a student's
participation in a school play.
In ten concise chapters, Raina
Ames lays out a range of issues
and situations, and offers
practical suggestions for
handling them professionally and
humanely. The Guide covers both
specific questions about
structuring classes, the text of
overheads or PowerPoint for
classroom instruction, and
useful suggestions - such as a
'contract' between student and
the theatre program -- for
building students' confidence
and sense of responsibility
within the group effort. With an
eye both on the classroom and
the rehearsal room, The High
School Theatre Teacher's
Survival Guide will be a welcome
aid to high school teachers
wherever theatre is taught.
