Teacher Information Sessions
Want to learn about the free Docs For Schools program and how your school can participate? Consider attending one of the free Teacher Info Sessions.
The Docs For Schools program is available to teachers in Grades 7-12 throughout Ontario, during the 2012 Hot Docs Festival, April 26-May 6.
The complete line-up of films will be announced March 21, and the info sessions will take place March 22-29.
There are many factors in the decision process for a school and teachers to participate. To help this process teachers are encouraged to attend attend an info session in their community, when possible, and to view the Subject-Film Reference Grid that will be posted online once all the films are announced on March 21.
Why attend an info session?
+ Learn the details of how your school can participate
