Why are educators and their profession the focus of so much film
and theatre? Diane Conrad and Monica Prendergast bring together
scholars and practitioners in education, examining dramatic
portrayals of teachers and teaching to answer this very question.
Films such as Freedom Writers, Bad Teacher and School of Rock, to
name a few, intentionally or inadvertently comment on education and
influence the opinions and, ultimately, the experiences of anyone
who has taught or been taught. The chapters gathered in this
collection critique the Hollywood 'good teacher' repertoire, delve
into satiric parodies and alternative representations and explore
issues through analyses of independent and popular films and plays
from around the world. By examining teacher-student relationships,
institutional cultures, societal influences and much more, Teachers
and Teaching on Stage and on Screen addresses these media's varied
fascinations with the educator like no collection before it.
