ABSTRACT
Awareness of the drama of schooling involves teaching with dramatic consciousness. Although that understanding of teaching has been implied all along, it will be helpful to develop that understanding more fully. Dramatic consciousness means being aware that there is dramatic action taking place in one's life, in one's work, in the lives of the people who make up the school community. It implies being present to that drama, engaged in its passions, struggles and adventures, rather than being psychologically distant, removed from the action.
