We are excited to invite all teachers to apply for one of the most transformative and effective professional development opportunities of a lifetime.
Detroit Future Schools (DFS) needs innovative, passionate, committed teachers toapply. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis. The first round of applications will be reviewed in April 2013.
This is an open invitation to all educators in Metro-Detroit to apply for one of a few positions available for a year-long initiative to empower young people in our classrooms and communities by integrating the following into your classroom:
- Digital Media Arts
- Problem-Posing Pedagogy
- Community-School Interactions
- Documentation & Evaluation
Through your participation in this year-long program, you will be partnered with a digital media artist and you will explore several key questions:
- What role can media and technology play in building Detroit's Future?
- How can we ensure equitable access to the tools of information, creation and collaboration?
- How can the integration of media and technology into the learning process increase student agency and connection to community?
