HNC Acting and Performance - Theatre Styles

This project aimed to engage and inspire learners to investigate a potentially alienating subject by putting them in the role of researcher and teacher. I wanted to enhance the learning experience and so stimulate the learners’ desire to learn whilst giving them life long independent learning skills.


This project focussed on the following TESEP principles:

  • encouraging learners to be as active as possible
  • personalising learning
  • encouraging social and collaborative learning
  • ensuring regular feedback and self-diagnosis

Tracey talks about how she wanted to change learners learning experience.
