There is no one-size-fits-all way to keep pace with the changes affecting students and those who educate them. Thats why Joan Lazarus has gathered here the insights of hundreds of theater teachers and teaching artists on how they have responded to the shifting demands of theater education in todays schools. She paints a portrait of active, dynamic professionals who build vibrant programs and confront challenges in a variety of ways-from inclusive, interactive lessons to comprehensive programs that address the impact of poverty, race, gender, and spirituality on students lives. In the process, she shows how real teachers bring about real change. An accessible and up-to-date guide to best practices in theater education, this expanded and revised edition encompasses new hands-on activities-drawn from the authors in-depth interviews and research.
