Texas Thespian Student Leadership Academy 
Picture
What is Leadership Academy?
The STOs have developed a variety of videos, PowerPoints, Zoom calls, Google Classroom objectives and check-ins to develop each troupe to the best of their ability. 

​The academy is in place to help both the struggling troupe and the troupes that are transitioning to new leadership.  We are here to make your troupe the best you can be each year.

As part of our Leadership programming, troupes will be provided opportunities to continue learning “Best Practices” as determined by the supplemental information and guides provided online. 

​These additional guides will be released monthly and include check-in points for Honor Troupe participants to earn honor status.  The following months will be dedicated to each additional “best practices” tools.
Honor Troupes of Texas 
This programming is designed to recognize the outstanding work of the individual troupe.  We will be recognizing participating troupes with the label of Honor Troupe in the months of January and May.  This will be done within the academic school year and with the understanding that each troupe enrolled follows through on the calendared and listed events.

 Online Leadership Day
August 4, 7, 8 - 2020
Join via Zoom to 1 of 4 rotations
  • Toolbox for success
  • Guides to Advocacy
  • Best Social Media Practices
  • Unifying Teams through Troupe Dynamics

State Thespian Officers will engage troupes and their leaders in a rotation of workshops which feature best practices. 

During these workshops, student leaders and directors will have the opportunity to
  • learn about themselves
  • learn about the need for leaders in their troupe (what it means to be a leader and how best to lead)
  • how to use media to garner support for their programming
  • discover troupe dynamics
  • learn about advocating for their troupe

This day is a perfect opportunity for a troupe to discover their purpose and goals and for directors to see the group in action.
Online Leadership Day will begin at 10:00 AM on Zoom. 

Troupes are asked to meet together and login as a team.  Email communication is sent to the troupe and advises them through the online rotation and login process. 
​
STOs will be available online to share information via Zoom  and will share additional documents and videos that the troupe will need to work through. 

We recommend that the troupe meet in a central location with space to work through activities, have access to a minimum of two computers (larger screens for larger groups) and have food available for breaks.
 
Once registered, a confirmation email will be sent to the director with login information and any schedule necessary.
