Introduction
This course examines the role of the teacher as a reflective and reflexive practitioner, who is both facilitator and actor/performer in her capacity as a collaborative and dialogical educator. It attends to how interactive and participatory learning require teachers to be adaptable to varied styles of learning, and self-aware in relation to multiple cultural dynamics. This entails an ability to improvise and perform multiple roles in order to meet the needs of varied teacher-student dynamics in the 21st century context.
This course responds to the ongoing changes in the education landscape that require teachers to become more engaged in active learning processes that exceed conventional book learning approaches, and embrace holistic, multi-dimensional and inter-disciplinary frames. The arts, particularly drama, is an ideal platform through which to do this, as it is inherently open to change and integrative of multiple knowledges. The teacher as facili-actor can then embody and enact these critical pedagogies and practices.
