Introducing students and teachers to the power of documentary film in the classroom, we present Real to Reel - a 4th-6th grade interactive classroom presentation that explores various styles of documentary film through a discussion and hands-on storyboarding activity.
This program aims to improve students’ media literacy by exploring how the filmmakers' intent, choices and filmmaking techniques are used to convey powerful stories to the audience, while supporting core curriculum requirements for arts education.
Teachers will have the opportunity to sign up to bring this fully-funded presentation into their own classroom.

Formative assessments are not an “end of unit” test or a “mid-term.” Formative assessments are part of the everyday teaching and learning process, if used properly. They give in-the-moment information about the level of learning for each student as they are being taught; including information to direct instruction right now, tomorrow and next week. Students benefit from formative assessments when they are trained how to glean information, such as where they are in the learning process right now, and what they can do, themselves, to increase their learning. A formative assessment, as Carol Ann Tomlinson has said, “. . . isn’t an end in itself, but the beginning of better instruction.” In this presentation, we will explore various types of formative assessments and data collection methods; and, learn how to weave them within every lesson, creating better instruction and student learning outcomes.
