Collectively the authors possess some two hundred years of shared experience in the field, and each essay investigates the mistakes of best-intentions, the lack of awareness, and the omissions that pock all of our careers. The authors ask, and answer quite honestly, a series of difficult and reflexive questions: What obscured our understanding of our students’ needs in a particular moment? What drove our professional expectations?  And how has our practice changed as a result of those experiences? Modelled on reflective practice, this book will be an essential, everyday guide to the challenges of drama education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'The book’s deliberate rebuttal of the happy endings that dominate the literature makes it a significant addition to both drama education and the field of reflective practice. It offers examples of how reflection can be structured and where these practitioners turned for guidance, making it a key resource for students and teachers alike.'\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e -- Kate Lee, Applied Theatre Research\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart One: Hoops of My Making\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: “Chicken Merry, Hawk deh near”: A Letter of Apology – Brian S.
