The aims of this course are to involve teachers in practical activities which will engage boys in such a way that they make progress and do not impair the experience of the group. Teachers will experience strategies that enable boys to reach their potential in drama. The course will provide strategies and schemes of work that will help encourage boys in drama, without distancing the girls. During the day delegates will have the opportunity to examine ways of grouping pupils to minimise problems - whilst learning various techniques for maintaining control without inhibiting creativity. Schemes of work and lesson plans will present materials that capture the interest of boys in the group whilst allowing girls to engage with equal enthusiasm. Teachers will leave the course with a bank of ideas that work!
