Jacob Burns Film Center
Summer Teachers Institute
July 21-25, 2014

 The Jacob Burns Film Center (JBFC) is at the center of an international movement to raise a generation of students equipped and inspired to comprehend, analyze, and create with the tools of 21st century communication: image, sound, and story. JBFC’s Summer Teachers Institutes prepare Pre-K – Grade 12 educators to be literate in visual texts and empower their students to be active viewers, critical thinkers, engaged world citizens, and inspired creators.

The 2014 Summer Teachers Institute will once again offer a multi-disciplinary experience to serve educators at every grade level and experience, and across subject area. The expansive list of offerings will provide curriculum, strategies and resources for Pre-K-12 and address content areas such as English Language Arts, Social Studies, Art, and Science.  Educators will choose from a diverse array of offerings to ensure a customized and immediately applicable professional development experience.

Educators will choose two sessions for the week based on their interests and teaching area. They will spend the first half of the week in one session and the second half in the other, with group experiences and special presenters woven throughout.
