Are you a new drama teacher looking to prepare thoroughly for your new career?
Are you looking for a drama teaching book that is jam-packed with great information, good ideas and wise advice?

Then take time to look at the video or read the outline below and do your self a favour and buy a copy of:
“Organised Chaos: A Very Practical Guide to Drama Teaching.”
I guarantee you won’t regret it. In fact you can have your money back if you don’t think it is as good as what I say it is.

I know how valuable time is for teachers. I remember well, thumbing through book after book looking for some practical advice on drama teaching; frustrated at having to wade through page after page of theoretical waffle to get to some practical gems.
You don’t have time to listen to me expound on my personal theories and show you how knowledgeable and smart I am.
You need some real keys to success. What you need are practical ways to survive on a daily basis; teaching a subject that is, traditionally, vastly undervalued in schools and has challenged and will continue to challenge you to the core as a teacher.
What I share with you in this book is knowledge and information gained from 30+ years of tough teaching experience.
The more I have learned the more convinced I am that there are no easy answers to effective drama teaching but there are clear strategies and approaches that can make life easier and ensure a high measure of success.
