Secondary Teacher Training: The Theatre Backwater?

Oaks, Harold R.

Design for Arts in Education, v91 n2 p23-26 Nov-Dec 1989

Defines theater as a medium in which students can channel their energies in positive and creative ways. Addresses the issue that major universities should concentrate on training secondary theater teachers rather than performance actors in order to improve theater education at the secondary level. Recommends a unification of the national theater education associations. (GG)
