The development and growth of a quality theatre program, capable of preparing all students to demonstrate the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills in theatre, depends on a comprehensive process of evaluating and defining program characteristics. Theatre teachers, supervisors, coordinators, principals, and other campus and district administrators should participate in the process of program evaluation. Information from this process can be used to strengthen theatre programs.

• Are theatre classes regularly scheduled and available to every student?
• Are the Theatre TEKS the foundation of classroom activities, instruction, and student assessment? Describe how teachers use the TEKS in planning and implementing instruction.
• Are theatre curricula aligned with the Theatre TEKS at each grade and course level?
• Are instructional materials, classroom activities, and teaching strategies aligned with the Theatre TEKS and local curriculum?
• How does student assessment in the theatre measure or demonstrate the student expectations outlined in the TEKS?
• Describe how current course offerings meet the needs and interests of students. How do they achieve the goals of the Theatre TEKS?
• How does the school's program structure and content retain students in theatre programs?
• How are tools of technology used to increase student learning of theatre content?
• How do physical classroom facilities support quality teaching and learning in each of the theatre areas?
