ABSTRACT

In this chapter I explore how adults can use drama to teach for transformation. I ground my analysis in the educational philosophy and drama pedagogy developed over half a century by Dorothy Heathcote (1984; Heathcote & Bolton, 2005) as well as in the synthesizing pedagogical model of transformative education, which includes language and literacy teaching, as presented by Mary Kalantzis and Bill Cope (2008) in New Learning: Elements of a Science of Education.
