b) Are they experienced school teachers with experience teaching Speech and Drama? This means that teachers are skilled and experienced in the area of teaching effective Speaking and Drama, not just Drama and not just Public Speaking. Through the combination of Speech and Drama, children can learn greater, more well rounded communication skills. This also means that teachers are skilled and experienced at effectively teaching and managing a class of students.
