Teacher professional learning workshops

These workshops provide invaluable professional development opportunities for teachers, equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively teach filmmaking in the classroom.

Teachers will gain expertise in various aspects of filmmaking, such as camera techniques, sound design, and storytelling. This newfound knowledge will allow teachers to inspire and guide their students to explore their creativity and express themselves through film. Additionally, collaborating with specialist film educators fosters a supportive network where teachers can exchange ideas and best practices, enhancing their teaching methods and overall effectiveness.

 

NESA accredited professional learning 

Completing this professional learning (online or face-to-face), including all the tasks and surveys will provide 6 hours of accredited professional learning.
