Professional development

Messaging Through Media

My Students

My students this year are an eclectic mix that ranges from advanced placement to special education. I have students who are working to support their families and others who are struggling to learn to speak English. All are working diligently to keep up with virtual learning.

My Project

This institute will give me the ability to teach my students to send a message through media. My students will have a chance to share their diverse experiences and send a message about an issue that impacts their individual lives. Students will learn how to produce a message that targets an audience, as well as learn to send a message that promotes an idea of social change and justice that is meaningful to them. Learning how to create a film gives my students a new skill set that gives them an advantage.
