I never realized the value of Drama Education in a professional setting to this extent. Ideas about eye contact, how you hold yourself, how open your body stance is, and not being fidgety is actually quite important. Other concepts such as being calm and collected, not escalading conflicts, getting to know your student's names, getting your students to know each other, continuous formative assessment, using pauses and silences instead of speaking is really quite enlightening and definitely useful in a classroom situation. Also the little bits of legal issues that teachers must deal with are really quite counter-intuitive for me at least....
