My philosophy of drama teaching by Lubbers https://padlet.com/slubb1/vup91r9a8ff7 Why am I becoming a drama teacher? en-us 2018-07-19 11:51:16 UTC 2025-04-24 08:08:43 UTC hello@padlet.com I encourage students to reach new understandings by shaping and developing ideas in the process of making and performing drama, and open their aesthetic and cognitive worlds of imagination into diverse dramatic, theatrical and performative practices, histories and traditions. slubb1 https://padlet.com/slubb1/vup91r9a8ff7/wish/271362360 2018-07-29 09:53:17 UTC https://padlet.com/slubb1/vup91r9a8ff7/wish/271362360 I want my students to understand themselves, their lives, their art and the world around them. I want to create a learning space for creative solutions to massive problems we face in humanity and in our physical worlds. I want my young people to know and understand the power of drama in a socially critical framework and learn in Drama, through Drama and about the art form of Drama. slubb1 https://padlet.com/slubb1/vup91r9a8ff7/wish/272065722 2018-08-06 11:27:13 UTC https://padlet.com/slubb1/vup91r9a8ff7/wish/272065722 Drama is the safe space to explore expression, alternate viewpoints, to embrace creativity, vulnerability, collaboration and bravery to engage with the human condition on a physical and emotional level. The blank slate of a black box stage for storytelling is only limited by the willingness of the artist to manipulate and reinvent the conventions and elements of drama and emerging digital tools and find its relevance for the next generation. https://padlet.com/slubb1/vup91r9a8ff7/wish/1663008944 2021-07-28 10:08:00 UTC https://padlet.com/slubb1/vup91r9a8ff7/wish/1663008944 https://padlet.com/slubb1/vup91r9a8ff7/wish/1663485380 I love the idea that Drama facilitates students to learn about and practise a wide variety of different subjects all within the one unit; language skills, modern and ancient history, study of society, and visual art all get to be explored within the one subject (sometimes within the one play!) and I'm so excited to share that with my students, and help them to expand upon their interests, as well as help them to discover new passions! ]]> 2021-07-28 23:17:57 UTC https://padlet.com/slubb1/vup91r9a8ff7/wish/1663485380 Why am I becoming a Drama Teacher? https://padlet.com/slubb1/vup91r9a8ff7/wish/1667475305 Michel de Montaigne writes "to study... is to learn to die." In this way, education for me, is a continental endeavour and not an analytic one. Drama allows students to develop their critical thinking skills in a way that always relates to the 'real'.  It allows students to understand their metaphysical, epistemological and axiological positions through phronesis. Simply, for me, Drama is the best tool available that allows/enables/facilitates students to ask the question "What is being?" or for the adolescent "Who am I?". An engagement with their relationship to the world. ]]> 2021-08-03 05:12:32 UTC https://padlet.com/slubb1/vup91r9a8ff7/wish/1667475305 Culturally Responsive Teaching slubb1 https://padlet.com/slubb1/vup91r9a8ff7/wish/1799263291 I want to be a teacher that never makes assumptions and never puts words into people's mouths in relation to their culture and their experiences. I want to create a safe space where students can speak up about their experiences. I want to ensure I model cultural acceptance in class and open my students' minds to otherness and ways of being outside dominant cultural paradigms. I am going to make sure I teach Indigenous and multi-cultural perspectives in all year levels and units in Drama so I provide agency for all my young people and help make them feel included which will increase results of students and student outcomes. I am going to teach through the aesthetic because human senses and experiences are universal and break down cultural barriers between people. I hope to make real world cultural links between the students I teach and the curriculum documents and subject matter I must teach. I am going to be cognisant of the texts and contexts and stimuli I select in my planning and ensure that it promotes cultural inclusion and connection. ]]> 2021-10-07 09:43:43 UTC https://padlet.com/slubb1/vup91r9a8ff7/wish/1799263291
