There is a long history of research on theater and performance supporting literacy skills, especially fluency and comprehension. Most of this work is based on drama and plays and has been adapted to the classroom level in the form of Reader's Theater. Musicals, however, with their combination of acting, dancing, and singing, offer unique benefits to struggling literacy learners. This chapter will make the argument that modern musicals, particularly those rooted in popular culture and oriented toward children, allow for growth possibilities in all components of literacy.

Inductive Thematic Analysis

Health profession educators are responding to shifting approaches where patients are increasingly recognized as partners in an interprofessional care process. To foster competencies related to partnerships between patients and the team, educators have advanced the role of patient partners; however, an appreciation of resulting student learning is in its early stages. First-year students from 9 programs interacted with patient partners and participated in a Reader’s Theater that explored partnerships with patients in an interprofessional team. Students completed reflective assignments; an inductive thematic analysis explored student learning. The following 4 overarching themes were recognized: developing insights through patient perspective, promoting partnerships with patients, recognizing attitudes that promote therapeutic relationships, and advocating for the patient to be a team member. Accompanying subthemes provide enhancement of each of the identified themes. Students discussed the effect of poor collaboration, identified attitudes that promote collaboration, and expressed the value of advocacy for patient partnership. An enriched appreciation of student learning will guide educator engagement of patient partners in both health professional and interprofessional curricula.

Reader's Theatre

El inglés es el idioma oficial de la ciencia y la tecnología. La mayor parte de la información publicada en el internet está escrita en este idioma, por esa razón para ser considerado un  profesional competente se debe aprender inglés desde los niveles iniciales de formación para desarrollar destrezas que permitan acceder a información actualizada. Con respecto a la destreza lectora, la exactitud, prosodia y el utomatismo son elementos básicos que se consideran regularmente en las aulas ecuatorianas. En este contexto, el objetivo de la presente investigación fue determinar la correlación de la estrategia del “Reader’s Theatre” en el desarrollo de la fluidez lectora. La población investigada fue un grupo de niños entre 10 y 12 años de edad con quienes se aplicó una metodología basada en el enfoque cuantitativo y cualitativo con la utilización de trabajo de campo y un diseño cuasi experimental. En la fase de experimento, se empleó la estrategia del “Reader’s Theatre” mediante el uso de libretos y rúbricas aplicadas a 82 estudiantes de una institución primaria pública. Para la medición de la efectividad de la estrategia se utilizó un pre test y un post test. Los resultados demuestran que la estrategia del “Reader’s Theatre” mejora la fluidez lectora.

Reader's Theatre

I begin this paper with a reader’s theatre text that represents the multiple perspectives of a student, teacher, student teacher, and administrator about a high school class schedule change. In presenting a text that portrays multiple points of view upon what would seem to be an everyday experience in an urban high school, I aim to show the complexity of how different people in different roles respond and manage their context in response to a single policy decision.  After the reader’s theater and before I continue with the rest of the paper, I invite you the reader to consider your interpretations of and associations with the text.  I conclude by arguing that we need to be attuned to the complex ways that policy decisions inform and constrain the actions of people within educational contexts.Keywords: policy decisions; effects; urban schools; English language learners; layered stories; reader’s theater
