A.C.T.’s JERRY ROSENSTEIN ARTS PROJECT (JRAP) provides San Francisco middle school students and their teachers with access to performing arts instruction, including hands-on experiences to increase creativity, resilience, and self-confidence.  

At each middle school participating in A.C.T.’s JRAP programming, classroom teachers collaborate and meet regularly with their A.C.T. Teaching Artist to envision how existing academic curriculum can be taught through physical, verbal and other creative activities, using theater as a tool for academic learning. Together, teachers co-plan arts integrated curricula and co-lead dynamic classes that animate subjects through fun, engaging, interdisciplinary & experiential learning.  

The program also offers robust professional development, designed to equip classroom teachers with the skills and confidence needed to design and lead arts integrated curricula with and without A.C.T. Teaching Artists.  Through JRAP, students experience the transformative power of theater in service of their social-emotional learning and academic growth.
