AATE 2025 National Conference

In this interactive session, participants will explore the "Stages of Change" model as it applies to theater education and social-emotional learning (SEL). Using the dual lens of progress and tradition, we will reflect on how integrating innovative practices like the Student Voice and Engagement (SVE) program can sustain student engagement while honoring the core values of theater education. Participants will engage in hands-on activities, collaborative discussions, and reflective exercises to examine how these principles can be applied to their own settings.
