from VfD:

"Teacher in role" is not a phrase in the English language. This article is original research. RickK 00:32, Jan 9, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, Original Research. Rje 01:32, Jan 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Cleanup, the phrase has quite a few google hits. --foobaz· 01:43, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Cleanup Definitely a real concept, worthy of an encyclopedia as well. This article is awkward though. Starblind 01:50, Jan 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment The phrase kind of rings a bell. I'm think I've heard it before. Will try to find out more. Dpbsmith (talk) 02:13, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC) Oh, my goodness, tons of Google hits. Most hyphenated, "teacher-in-role." Gallaudet college mentions it in two course listings, lotsa other course listings, lots of mentions in professional-sounding education contexts. There seems to be a educational subdiscipline on the use of drama in education and this seems to be part of it. As nearly as I can make out, the term refers both to a use of drama in teaching ordinary subjects and a method of teaching drama. OK, I have no idea what "teacher-in-role" is, but I know enough now to vote...
  • Cleanup. Definitely a real piece of jargon technical term in the fields of education and drama. Dpbsmith (talk) 02:26, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Cleanup, the topic is encyclopedic but IMO this article is completely unacceptable as written, seems like an education major's essay. Wyss 01:25, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Cleanup, As an educator myself (who two-finger types and makes horrible typos) I can see the value of this particular article. However, as far as layout and clarity go... I'll stand with Clean-up. Weaponofmassinstruction 03:58, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Cleanup grammar, among other things. This has the potential to be a good article.
  • Move under a proper title and wikify it. antifinnugor 21:49, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Research

I wrote the article as it stands, and i agree it needs work. If anyone is intrested in helping I suggest reading articles by dorothy heathcote & jonothan neelands. I would try, but as it has been mentioned I seem to be writing an academic essay, not an encyclopedic entry. --Arlechinio 04:14, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikified

My first attempt at wikifying, or any real editing. Hope I didn't botch it. Regards, Anonymous.

You did fine. I went through, added a few more wikifications, then removed the Wikify template. I don't believe that there is any more need for a notice, as most applicable links are wikified now.

[edit] cleanup

I put the cleanup tag on this article because I don't understand it enough to rewrite it; I can't figure out what it's trying to say. What the heck does "teacher in role" even mean??? (I would have AFD'd it except for the above vote). - DavidWBrooks 20:23, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] maybe should be moved

maybe this should be moved as a sub-section in a drama in education entry, as it is only a method of teaching and not an actual concept in itself. I've tried to re-write it but as a concept its hard to explain without knowing why it's being used. I know i don't make much sense but it is an important thing just not explained to well. sorry --Arlechinio 23:05, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] major pruning

I am going to remove the entire example section. I would have sent it to AfD but that has been done and my Google search does show notability. I will post a note to the Drama Education project and ask someone to make some sense of the rest.--killing sparrows 05:40, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merging

I am not totally sure, but isn't this article about the same as teaching in-Role? only that this article is talking about the one doing the action, and the other article about the action. Snuitkever (talk) 14:57, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
