develop, share, and evaluate teaching and learning strategies that
contribute to positive teaching and learning outcomes in their own
environments, and which can be disseminated and replicated in other
contexts. We will focus in particular on strategies that <i>exploit
the potential of theatre to stimulate learning </i>– a goal shared by
all drama and theatre academics and educators, and also one which
acknowledges that our discipline – to a greater extent than most –
constitutes not only a field of knowledge to be taught and researched,
but also a medium for both teaching and research.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

style="background-color: white;">Each participant will plan and carry
out an experiment that puts drama and theatre in the service of a
particular learning objective, evaluate the efficacy of their strategy,
reflect on the results – and disseminate the findings. During the
process, we will connect regularly through a blog, to exchange ideas,
methods, resources, and results. Participants will be expected to
collaborate through the blog, read and critique each other’s drafts,
and contribute to our public seminar at the CATR/ACRT Conference in
Victoria, 1-4June 2012. Through this process, participant will develop
professional skills, engage with scholarship on teaching and learning,
and work collaboratively toward peer-reviewed research outputs.
