RACHEL Virtual Class
Overcome the limitations of travel with video! The Hermitage proudly offers the Reinforcing American History through Electronic Learning Virtual Class initiative, RACHEL.
Teachers who face prohibitive transportation costs, limited classroom time or geographic limitations can participate in an online, interactive education program led by The Hermitage’s education department.
Award-Winning Video Classes
The Hermitage RACHEL initiative received the 2011-12 and 2014-15 Pinnacle Award by the Center for Interactive Learning & Collaboration for excellence in presenter effectiveness and educational content.
Ask an Andrew Jackson Expert
Arrange some time for your educators to connect with educators from The Hermitage for a virtual Q&A session about how to teach Jackson or the Jacksonian Era. Our educators are available for 30-minute sessions for you to ask questions or see the video technology in action to decide if the RACHEL Virtual Class is the right fit for you.
Students working on a Jackson-related project or paper may also reserve time to chat with a Hermitage educator.
