Schemes for Classroom Drama (Members) £16.99 £16.14

The schemes of work in this book provide clear, coherent, thought-provoking opportunities for drama teachers. They outline class lessons rooted in child-centred, humanising theory and practice, to help equip today's young people to respond to the world as it is.

Here it is! this is the way to do it! This is one of the most important Drama and Educational texts of the past 20 years ....a humanising, child-centred curriculum with an international perspective. This book is the epitome of what that means.
Journal for Drama in Education

Using Maggie Hulson's schemes in my own classroom has enabled me to examine my practice and improve it. i can only exhort you to go and buy this book and use it. You won't regret it.
