In Great Teaching, Edric Johnson, a professor of curriculum and instruction at UW-Whitewater, sees teaching as a performing art and helps future elementary and middle school teachers integrate drama in their classrooms. It’s about helping them be better teachers — and the bravest version of themselves.

"Being on stage is sort of used as a metaphor. Their stage is their classroom. I always profess that teaching is a performing art. And they are going to spark imagination with their students by being in the role themselves."
