Teacher in role (TIR) is an invaluable technique for shaping the dramatic process. Simply put, the teacher assumes a role in relation to the pupils. This may be as a leader, a peer, or any other role which is useful in the development of the lesson. The teacher may ask questions of the students, perhaps putting them into role as members of a specific group and encouraging them to hot seat her in return. A token piece of costume, a hand prop or special chair can be useful to denote when the teacher steps into and out of role.
