Course programme

The Course

The Subject Application part of the Drama GTP Course is continually revised and updated in order to respond to feedback from trainees and mentors and to take account of ongoing government initiatives and legislation. It has been planned to include a range of experiences that will allow trainees to develop the knowledge, skills, understanding and awareness to become good Drama teachers. There are three elements that contribute to this: the Subject Application course; the generic Professional Studies course and the two school placements. Making coherent links between these three elements is essential if trainees are to exploit the course to its full potential and make the most of their development opportunities over the course of the year.

Drama Content

During the course trainees will become acquainted with the content and nature of the Drama curriculum 11 - 18 and will develop a language to describe the teaching and learning of Drama. Relevant literature such as the National Curriculum, OFSTED Reports, and the National Strategies will provide a framework to describe Drama, the variety of activities, outcomes of related activities and ways of promoting Drama in the classroom. A wide range of exemplar resources and methods will be used so that trainee teachers experience different approaches, reflect on their experiences and consider the implications for the classroom. Specific aspects of classroom organisation and management of the National Curriculum and the National Strategies will be introduced. The appropriate use of ICT in teaching and learning in Drama will be addressed throughout the course. Sessions will involve trainees in discussions, presentations of work and practical activities. Each session is supported by relevant subject reading.
