Common Environment

• The pressure created in the "No Child Left Behind" environment has been gradually pushing out the "arts" classes due to the misconception from politicians that the courses don't matter nearly as much as the four main groups of English, Math, Social Studies and Science.

Possible Workshop Topics

• Exploring how a video productions class can work as an English Language Arts elective.
• Creating video "courses within courses" that teach video productions skills within the borders mainstream courses.
• How to "sell" a video productions program to a school board.
