Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Phase 1
The early part of the module will be characterised by an investigation of both the history and contemporary practice of TIE including an analysis of key play texts. In parallel a series of seminars will explore the UK statutory education system.
Phase 2
In this phase students will split into small groups to research and rehearse short TIE programmes on a given subject for a specific age range. These will then be toured to secondary schools. Following the tour each TIE team will take part in a staff facilitated Self and Peer Assessment and Accreditation process. In this session marks will be negotiated to recognise each individual team member’s contribution to the group process.
