Synopsis
Dorothy Heathcote - Drama as a Learning Medium
Published by Heinemann
Although Dorothy Heathcote's work has been profoundly influential, her techniques often lacked full explanation, but this book offers just that - a close-up detailing of this gifted, dynamic teacher in a variety of classrooom settings
Especially recommended for middle and secondary school teachers, Wagner's book gives an accessible analysis of Heathcote's innovative improvisations with young people
"This book profoundly altered my own teaching and gave me a glimpse of what it is possible to achieve through drama. I am confident that this fascinating picture of a remarkable educator at work will continue to motivate and challenge new generations of teachers and learners" ~ Cecily O'Neill
