Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Phase 1: Students will begin the module with five half-day workshops which will introduce them to work-based learning, reflective practice and a method to apply these techniques in drama/theatre facilitation drama.
Phase 2: Following the intensive workshop students return to the workplace and keep an online journal within which they will complete weekly reflective tasks to identify strengths and weaknesses in their practice. A supervisor will make a site visit in this time and observe the student leading a session. At the end of five weeks the student will have negotiated specific areas for development with their supervisor and developed an action plan to improve their practice.
Phase 3: Students again return to the workplace and implement action plan. Again, the student maintains an online journal and weekly reflective tasks are set. The module ends with the supervisor visiting to watch a final workshop in which the effect of the action plan can be observed.
