Schools & Community Organizations

With videos and media all around us, we are increasingly reliant on the power of images and sound to communicate information. To keep pace, today’s teachers and students must be fluent in visual language, just as they must know how to read, write, speak, and listen.

Join our community of educators committed to raising a generation of students to be college and career ready, with strong critical analysis, creative collaboration, multimedia communication, and social-emotional learning skills.

All programs and resources for schools and community organizations are available nationwide. We look forward to thoughtfully engaging with and supporting your community.
