The Performing Arts (Drama) Secondary with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) course at Liverpool John Moores University involves an exciting blend of practical workshops, learning from experts in the field and engaging with local theatres to explore how Drama is taught in schools. You will experiment with how teaching and learning enables pupils to know, apply and understand the knowledge, skills and processes of Drama.
During your training, you will focus on the various approaches and pedagogies for Drama, emphasising the practical application of theory. A sequence of micro-teaching experiences allows you to develop and share, with peers, your understanding of learning and teaching strategies that support effective practice in the classroom.
