The course will examine the ethos of Drama as a curriculum subject both within an Arts faculty and as an element of the English framework. Curriculum structures and examination specifications will be explored and delegates will receive detailed examples of KS3, GCSE and A level schemes of work. There will be a discussion of KS3 assessment frameworks and delegates will be provided with a variety of examples of structures for auditing, monitoring and record keeping. The management of staff and resources as well as the role of extra curricular drama, including provision for talented students, will form a key element of the course.
