Teach The Teachers: Professional Development Workshop

Teach The Teachers, A hands-on digital media enrichment workshop for teachers and administrators on how to use and incorporate digital technology into current curriculum and maximize the tools already available to them and is based on our core curriculum, The Identity Project, which highlights a student’s life story into the learning experience.

During a three-hour course in 21st century digital media storytelling, teachers are instructed in the basics of digital media filmmaking; learning to script, film, interview, narrate, incorporate photos, music and other digital media into a short documentary.

The training demonstrates how teachers can engage students in their own learning via arts integrated instruction by combining the technology students use daily with their stories of families, friends and personal goals into the learning experience. This creates a level of personal connection and added depth in the classroom through a creative inquiry-based process of teaching and learning.
 

Email received from an LAUSD teacher who attended a Teach The Teachers workshop I led two weeks ago at  Los Angeles Education Partnership (LAEP) conference:

Manon:

The hands-on film production workshop on Wednesday, 04/13/2011, was the most valuable professional development I have ever received from LAUSD.

Thanks for a fascinating and informative presentation! I will be e-mailing you questions in the future.

My project is still in the middle of a rough-cut assemblage, but I'm sure I can finish it on my own.

The best address for the DVD would be:


Again, thanks for everything!
