Phi Delta Kappa and the Inside Our Schools digital film competition
Phi Delta Kappa International (PDK), the premier professional association for educators, and the Pearson Foundation sponsor the Inside Our Schools video competition for schools engaged in the Future Educators Association (FEA). The FEA is the only internationally recognized organization promoting education as a career.
This student-focused documentation program encourages the 20,000 high-school students who take part in FEA clubs to create digital films that identify what they believe to be best practices and examples of teaching excellence in their own schools.
With support from the Pearson Foundation’s Digital Arts Alliance, FEA will announce the three winning documentation teams from schools at the February 2008 FEA National Conference in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Digital Arts Alliance crews will then visit each of the schools to capture additional video footage of the students and their teachers.
The end result will be a digital film created by student participants that showcases future educators and their role models – current teachers – who embody good teaching practices.
