What happens when students stop simply learning about something and start stepping inside it? In this episode, we’re joined by Gillian McNally for a conversation about Role Drama—what it is, why it works, and how teachers can actually dive in and use it with their students. Gillian breaks down the essential elements of a role drama and shares practical ways to get started, but our conversation quickly goes deeper. We explore the powerful connection between role drama, good pedagogy, and authentic student engagement—and what happens when we create learning experiences where students aren’t just receiving information, but making meaning, taking on perspectives, making choices, and becoming active participants in the learning. It’s a conversation about theatre, teaching, imagination, and the possibilities that open up when we trust students with meaningful work.
