International Drama/Theater and Education Association. Constitution

"In affirmation of the Universal Right of all human beings to a balanced and comprehensive education, including an education in and through the arts, especially through theatre /drama, we hereby come together to create an international theatre/drama association." Even though most advanced countries are represented in this non-political group through a major national theater organization, the United States is not. (Seen: 3/31/2001   last update: 2001)

Race, Phil. 500 Tips on Group Learning. London, UK: Kogan Page, Ltd, and Springfield, VA: Stylus Publishing, Inc. 2000.

This 'How to/how not to' book should be the official bible for anyone dealing with 'groups' - be it in workshops, seminars, classrooms, churches, or any place where any number of people meet to 'learn' something. It provides advice, simple and in well-arranged subject chapters on how to deal with all kinds of problem participants: the dominator, the disruptive member, the late - or the no-show, the timid member, the person without appropriate skills, a language problem, etc.

Best of all, it also shows the teacher/instructor what pitfalls to avoid, what to do/not to do in particular situations, how to stay neutral, and how to do things right so that learning goals can be achieved. There have been other books on group learning, but not in such a concentrated, well-organized form.
