Orion Lecture Series - Dorothy Heathcote - June 2, 2009
"Mantle of the Expert: A Further Paradigm for Education"
Dorothy Heathcote taught at the Universities of Durham and Newcastle-upon-Tyne for thirty-six years and is, without question, one of the greatest teachers of our time. Her innovative approaches to educational drama include teaching in role, mantle of the expert and rolling role. These revolutionary approaches to classroom practice challenge traditional assumptions about the fundamental nature of knowledge, education and pedagogy.
The Lecture was presented by the Department of Theatre and Faculty of Education through the generous support of the Orion Fund in Fine Arts and the Faculty of Fine Arts.
