The Senior Drama Teachers Forum is all about YOU as a Senior Drama teacher and the wonderful things you do. We would love to celebrate the success of our teachers in a quick 'show and tell' at the end of the day so we can inspire each other . Please bring along something you can share with your colleagues that demonstrates success in your classes this year: a great piece of student work, a new task sheet that 'worked', a resource that really helped your students... Success takes many shapes and forms - let's finish the year showing each other the successes we have had in our classes, however big or small!
