Breaking the Learning Barrier for At-Risk Students presents four learning principles:
o Learning... requires the active involvement of the learner. Nothing can be learned without the willing participation and effort of the learner.
o Life without drama is meaningless and uninspiring. Learning that is not built upon dramatic elements is also meaningless and uninspiring.
o Learning must be value based. When teaching takes into account the values and preferences of a learner, he or she will be motivated to participate.
o Learning must be fun. When the first three conditions exist, learning becomes the most rewarding, engaging, and fun activity in life.
By utilizing the principles of dramatic structure in their course work, teachers will uncover the power of discovery based learning-getting even the most reluctant students actively engaged in the learning process.
