Into Film Awards 2016 - Teacher of the Year - Engaging through Film |
What we're looking for...
Do you use film to engage with students that find traditional learning methods difficult? Maybe you include filmmaking activities in your lessons to encourage a deeper engagement with a topic. Or maybe you use films as a starting point to tackle issues such as bullying or racism. We want to know what you have done, why you decided to take this approach and the difference that the use of film has made for your students.
If you are able to include an example of your work which demonstrates the inspirational activities undertaken, this will be helpful to the judges.
Nominations may be made by teachers themselves or by a colleague, parent or student (with the consent of a parent or guardian) and should include an example of work to demonstrate the inspirational use of film in the classroom – be that use of film for literacy, screenings of interesting films, filmmaking, review writing or other film-related activities that have had a positive impact on young people’s academic or social development.
