Theater as Representation (TAR) in the Teaching of Teacher and Administrator Preparation Programs
Meyer, Matthew J.
International Electronic Journal for Leadership in Learning, v8 n6 2004
Theater as representation (TAR) has been used in pre-service and in-service teacher and administrator preparation programs since 1998. This paper places TAR within a pedagogical arena that further solidifies its place as an instrument for leadership professional development in B.Ed., M.Ed., and in-service programs. Maxine Greene (1995) challenges us to seek the use of imagination within our pre-service teacher preparation programs. "... It is difficult for me to teach educational history or philosophy to teachers-to-be without engaging them in the domain of imagination and metaphor. How else are they to make meaning out of the discrepant things they learn? How else are they to see themselves as practitioners, working to choose, working to teach in an often indecipherable world? (p. 99)" (Contains 2 notes.)
