Consultancy, INSET & CPD

Pamela is in demand as a CPD and INSET leader and provides high-quality workshops and programmes for individual schools, local authorities and educational organisations across the UK and overseas. She has developed a long-term partnership with North Runnymede  Learning Partnership.

Bespoke programmes and courses are designed to meet colleagues’ particular needs in developing the knowledge, skills and confidence to use whole class drama for learning in and across the curriculum to enhance creativity and raise achievement. Practical work is underpinned by her deep knowledge of how and why drama enables learning and Pamela supports this with a range of teaching and planning materials.

Lately, she has worked in the UK with schools and teachers in Berkshire; Buckinghamshire; London Boroughs of Bromley, Havering and Kingston; Norfolk and Surrey as well as in Sandes, Norway.

Workshop topics recently covered include:

• Using drama to promote writing
• Planning process drama successfully
• Drama and history
• Drama as a cross-curricular pedagogy
• Moving beyond ‘hot-seating’ – linking strategies to create whole class drama
• Strengthening social cohesion through drama
• Integrating the arts through drama
