Complete Teacher: Acting Role Module

The Complete Teacher is a computer-based system for delivering training in the praxis of teaching. It is designed around a complex clinical training model which views the teacher as an actor, developer, professional, manager, salesperson, subject expert, and writer. The ACTING ROLE module may be used alone, to deliver needed acting skills, or together with other modules to provide the training needed for the development of the "complete teaching professional." Modules are delivered in interactive format. Learning is performance-based and evaluation is criterion-referenced.

Great teachers are also good ACTORS! Teachers who can effectively demonstrate acting skills, whether consciously or unconsciously, appear to be some our better teachers. Use the ACTING ROLE module to hone your skills relating to vocal expression, bodily actions, role-playing, and the use of space and props. Techniques for generating surprise, creating suspense, and using humor in the classroom are other acting skills to master with the help of this professional development module.
