 Children
spontaneously engage in dramatic play as an enjoyable means of
resolving internal conflicts, problem solving, addressing important
questions, and trying on roles from the social relationships they 
observe among adults and siblings. At the San Francisco School,
teachers support this free and creative play. We carefully observe
the themes involved on a daily and ongoing basis. Occasionally we
may choose to interject, facilitate or redirect the activity in order
to further the children's learning. Classroom teachers may sometimes
orchestrate a more structured drama activity, act out a story, or
engage in a role-play. Specialty drama teachers are employed on a
periodic basis to teach specific dramatic skills and/or create a play.
