It means taking risks: putting aside one's comfortable, doctrinaire role and participating fully in the learning process. Above all, it means pushing oneself and one's students to the outer limits of capability--often, with miraculous results. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this lively collection of essays and talks from 1967-80, Heathcote shares the findings of her groundbreaking work in the application of theater techniques and play to classroom teaching. She provides a time-tested philosophy on the value of dramatic activity in breaking down barriers and overcoming inertia. Her insistence that teachers must step down from their pedestals and immerse themselves in the possibility of the moment makes for magical and challenging reading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dorothy Heathcote\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810109999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810109995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Dorothy Heathcote","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46311024853247,"sku":"9780810109995","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dc83fde9-9003-4fa8-ad40-b834d7aea28a.jpg?v=1730887892","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/collected-writings-on-education-and-dorothy-heathcote-9780810109995","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
