In this episode we hear from Tara Power, Assistant lecturer Drama in Education at TU Dublin speaking at the 2024 National Arts in Education Portal Day in TU Dublin in partnership with the School of Art and Design.
Mantle of the Expert: A dramatic inquiry approach to teaching and learning that is engaging, imaginative and child-centred
Tara discusses the dramatic inquiry approach she uses in her workshops Mantle of the Expert (MOE). MOE was created by UK based educator Dorothy Heathcote (1926-2011). This student-centred approach begins with the group's needs, interests and curriculum objectives and further develops in the classroom where educators and students co-create real and fictional spaces. Tensions, conflicts, and decisions are explored in and out of role, and solutions are decided upon collectively. MOE can be used with learners of all ages and can be implemented into a diverse range of subjects making learning meaningful and exciting.
