EMC, SE1 8QW
Duration
4.30-6.30pm

 

Join us for an exciting evening event at The English and Media Centre’s offices in Waterloo. This is a great opportunity to share good practice, get some new ideas and meet like-minded Media Studies and Film Studies educators.

We are bringing together teachers from our EMC and Goldsmiths networks to share lesson ideas and resources. Maybe you want to see how other schools approach set texts, you might be stuck in a rut with your NEA or practical work or perhaps you’d like to see what other specs and courses look like in the classroom and talk to other teachers about media and film teaching in their schools. 

Speakers

We welcome presentations from teachers of all experience levels on any media and film related approaches that are working well in the classroom. 

Notes for speakers:

  • Please plan to deliver between 8-10 minutes on a classroom approach that you are currently finding successful with one of your classes.
  • We welcome presenters from across the full range of course: GCSE, AL and vocational media and film courses.
  • Presentations need to be submitted by December 2nd plus any video content you might want to show as separate video files.
  • Please contact [email protected] for more details or if you have any questions.
