Downing, D. Johnson, F. & Kaur, S.

THE PRIMARY FRAMEWORK for LITERACY

AT LAST!!! I have been teaching since 1984 and have spent most of my career as a drama teacher explaining the importance of drama and the arts appearing in any school curriculum. The New Primary Framework places drama at its centre and demands, for the first time, real quality drama teaching in primary schools.

Mantle of the Expert

Using the practice of Dorothy Heathcote’s ‘Mantle of the Expert’ (having studied the techniques myself with Dorothy Heathcote) students become ‘experts’ in order to explore any of the curriculum topics being studied in their classroom. Starting with a problem or task, teachers and students explore, in role, the knowledge they already have while making new discoveries along the way.
