Publisher's Synopsis
A practical guide to using Mantle of the Expert techniques in the classroom. Mantle of the Expert is a teaching and learning approach that uses drama and inquiry to generate fictional contexts in which children can experience having the role of experts, being in charge, making decisions, and bearing responsibility. The book has two main parts: part one explains the principles and the elements of Mantle of the Expert, and part two gives clear, step-by-step guidance on putting those principles and elements into action. It contains extensive examples, plus appendices that provide (a) thorough documentation of two example dramatic scenarios, and (b) aids to planning Mantle of the Expert contexts and activities.
