Character Strengths in the Drama Classroom

This is a comprehensive resource rich with ideas for text study and devising. It is based around the concept of Character Strengths. Students and kaiako are encouraged to find their own strengths (an excellent way of building whakawhanaungatanga and manaakitanga). Kaiako can then choose which Character Strengths to focus on – ideally with their ākonga. Each Character Strength offers many acitivites including texts and characters that highlight the Character Strength, poetry, visual art and Māori pūrākau.

These resources are free to all courtesy of Networks of Expertise.
