Learn @ Home with Transcendence Theatre Company

Sonoma's Transcendence Theatre Company, known for its Broadway Under the Stars summer outdoor theater series at Jack London State Park, has launched their first ever online English language development program for students in grades 1–5 who have been affected by the school closures due to COVID-19. Led by Transcendence professional Teaching Artists, the EDU “Learn @ Home” curriculum was developed alongside Common Core State Standards, Visual and Performing Arts Standards, and English Language Development Standards, and is offered to students and families everywhere for free.

Transcendence Theatre Company currently offers elementary schools within their district a six-week on campus Arts Integrated Curriculum that was originally scheduled to begin on March 23. Due to the closure of local schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Transcendence decided to convert their in-class curriculum into an at-home educational resource for students all over the nation to continue learning during this difficult time. The Learn @ Home lesson plans are designed to be fun, engaging, and culturally relevant to the students Transcendence Teaching Artists serve, with the hope it will motivate students and families to learn at home.

The Transcendence online platform features instructional videos and attached lesson work packets for students and their families to download. Teachers will be adding four new videos every week for the remainder of the semester. Students and parents can check back weekly for new lesson plans. For those who may not have access to electronics or internet, Transcendence we will provide hard copy lesson plans that can be picked up at several locations in Sonoma County only. Lesson Plans are available in English and Spanish.
