Teachers took to the stage Friday on the University of Georgia campus, dramatizing issues they and their students face in Georgia classrooms, reported a story in the July 20 Athens Banner-Herald.
The audience was mainly teachers enrolled in UGA summer classes, like the teacher-actors in Friday’s skits, which were created and performed by students in a summer school class taught by Melisa Cahnmann-Taylor, a professor of language and literacy education, and Emily Sahakian, a professor in UGA’s theatre and French departments.
