DRAMA SCHEMES OF
LEARNING |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
The Scheme of
Learning for KS3 Drama
draws its content from a variety of
sources. The main focus derives
principally from the
cross-curricular themes found within
the college’s creative curriculum.
Drama is seen as being a very
important tool in underpinning
learning in other subjects of the
curriculum.
The department has developed
learning and teaching methodology
that acknowledges a wide range of
preferred learning styles for our
students. As part of our Performing
Arts College status, a research
project is currently underway to
assess how musical skills can assist
individual student development
across the whole gamut of learning.
The study focuses on those
individuals receiving extra music
tuition and gauges their progress
across all subject areas, compared
to students in similar ability
settings, who do not receive extra
music tuition. |
