The 4Cs of creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication are the cornerstone 21st century skills that every college- and career-ready student needs to possess. As a professional theatre educator, it’s your job to cultivate and model these lifelong traits. To do so, you must be innovative—in the classroom and on the stage. Join us in San Diego for our annual celebration of theatre education. Together, we’ll explore the broad challenges that today’s theatre teacher educator must meet in order to succeed in our ever-changing world.
