JBFC FILM & VISUAL LITERACY
EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Professional Development
The Jacob Burns Film Center is committed to teacher training through the hosting of professional development courses and workshops appropriate for all grade levels and subject areas. Program and presentations will prepare faculty members to “read” visual images and incorporate visual literacy into the New York State Learning Standards and core curriculum.
Through analysis of compositional and aesthetic elements, narrative structure, point of view, genre, and style, the workshop trains educators how to approach non-written "texts" in order to enhance the expressive, observational, and cognitive skills of their students. Investigating the divergent approaches of documentary, fiction film, literary adaptation, and world cinema, our visual literacy workshops have been designed to reflect the multicultural perspectives that are so essential to the educational process. Educators are provided with the tools to teach their students how to become active, critical viewers, readers, and thinkers.
Summer Teachers Institute
The Jacob Burns Film Center will once again host a Summer Teachers Institute, July 28-August 1, 2008. This two-credit course will teach educators of grades 3 through 12, in a range of academic subject areas, the language of film and empower them to integrate media into their curriculum. This year's course, Storycentric, will explore the "reading" and "writing" of both fiction and non fiction film using the language of image and sound.
At this time, registration for the Summer Teachers Institute is filled. If you are still interested in participating, and would like to be placed on a waiting list, please Click Here for a registration form.
