In this Concentration, students develop a specialized knowledge of the fields of drama and theatre in education, the ability for sustained engagement with communities of learning, as well as a working knowledge of school systems. Students learn to transform regular curricular material into effective and transformative drama work, begin practicing teaching methodologies, and explore ways of generating empathy/awareness towards others. These approaches are informed by the pursuit of social justice and awareness of contemporary social issues (e.g. bullying). As well as engagement with many of the basics of theatre creation and production, students learn to effectively write both reflective and critical responses about their experience as well as about the wider field of study.
