THIS FRIDAY is the SDETA Theatre Teacher Conference. This is one of the best events of the year. Please come and be inspired, not only from the break out sessions, but from just being with other theatre teachers. Too often we are an island unto our self on campus. Remind yourself that you are not alone - there is a community ready to support you!
This year the theme is "One Community, One Voice: Theatre is Education" and the keynote speaker is Jung-Ho Pak. There will be break out sessions for all three levels as well as administrators. Invite your principal or VP! In addition there will be a session on Stage Combat and a speed acting lesson from Roberta Wells-Famula, Education Director at the Old Globe. You will walk away with ideas you can use in your class immediately. There is also SWAG, a raffle, breakfast and lunch. All for $50.
Sadly, there is no money to pay for subs. I used to take a personal day to go each year. College credit is also available through USD.
