The Educational Theatre Association’s National Conference is held each year to provide educators with the opportunity to meet and network with their peers during an event featuring a wide range of professional development content. In 2017, we’ll explore one of the most important new trends in education in recent years: the integration of the sciences, math, and the arts subject areas to help prepare students for college, career, and life readiness. Join us for The Rise of STEAM—Real World Theatre Skills for the 21st Century, as we explore the impact of STEAM on middle and high school theatre education through workshops, keynotes, and information sharing opportunities.
