The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) marketable skills initiative is part of the state’s 60x30TX plan and was designed to help students articulate their skills to employers. Marketable skills are those skills valued by employers and/or graduate programs that can be applied in a variety of work or education settings and may include interpersonal, cognitive, and applied skill areas.
The BFA in Theatre With Teaching Certification is designed to provide graduates with the following marketable skills:
- Prepare course content appropriate to encourage the growth of students through high school. This includes writing lessons according to TEKS standards. Students also lead lessons in the public schools.
- Time management.
- Acquire skills in at least two of the following areas: performance, directing, sets, costumes, lights, or sound that will benefit the practical productions required by high school teachers as part of their jobs outside of the classroom.
- Work with others from a variety of backgrounds with various skill levels.
- Creative problem solving.
