DAFT Teacher Updates: SCECH Media Training at MPI, School Memberships & More

DAFT is thrilled to announce its 2022-23 docket of exciting media workshops open to teachers of all disciplines. New this year are three Fridays (see below) with hands-on experiences in media production as well as curricula for incorporating media into classrooms—particularly language arts, social studies as well as traditional film/television courses,

Each workshop may also be attended virtually, has been approved for State Continuing Education Credit Hours and may be considered for required Career Tech Educational requirements. Most importantly it’s a great way to bring engaging, fun activities to your classrooms and meet some fabulous colleagues from across the state.

DAFT is proud to bring back its in-depth workshops (postponed in 2020 by COVID) and can’t thank enough the staff and administration of the Motion Picture Institute for sharing its amazing facility in Troy along with its talented staff who join top educators and media pros to help all teachers improve the content of their classrooms.
