For Teachers
The Teachers Film Workshop is an evolution of the Young Filmmakers Workshop. The Teachers Film Workshop offers filmmaking instruction to teachers. Providing them with the knowledge and skills to guide students interested in using filmmaking for school projects that support the Ontario curriculum. For example after one of our classroom workshops students created a historical music video on the Confederation of Canada while other students acted out the roles of our founding fathers to create a documentary.
