'At a time of significant anxiety around the role of the arts in the secondary curriculum, this is a highly useful text. Packed full of practical tips for enhancing co-operation and creativity amongst young people, West is an important advocate for the many benefits of engagement in Drama both for individual young people and while school communities. A great read.' Emma Brown, Consortium Manager for the Central Bedfordshire Local Authority, UK

'I really cannot praise Inspired Drama Teaching highly enough. Not only is it bursting at the seams with tried-and-tested ideas that will undoubtedly inspire even the most reluctant of participants, but it also explains most clearly the context and reasoning behind the choice of activities. Although the book is predominantly aimed at drama teachers, especially those teaching in secondary schools, there are considerable resources that could also be used at the top end of the primary school and also by drama leaders working with these groups in non-school based situations. I would also recommend the book as an essential companion for non-drama specialists, wishing to add drama to their repertoire of teaching styles in other areas of the curriculum.'
