The Rutgers–Camden Center for the Arts (RCCA), in partnership with the theater company Pushcart Players, will host a limited-time virtual classroom for middle school teachers to teach government and history concepts through the art of performance. Participating teachers will receive lesson plans accompanied by video segments of the theatrical production “A More Perfect Union.”
Designed for grades 4 to 8, the set of four 15-minute segments and lesson plans is available free of charge Feb. 1 to March 12 and can be delivered to classroom teachers for use at their discretion.
“This experience is being offered free of charge as our thank you to teachers for their years of support of our programs, and for all that they do for their students every day, especially during this difficult year,” says Miranda Powell, arts education and community arts program assistant for the Rutgers–Camden Center for the Arts.
