Professional Development for Teachers:  Immediately before or after Collaborative Planning a YMA instructor will meet jointly with teachers to prepare them for the instructional week and to discuss strategies for using YMA training as a springboard for future, teacher generated projects.  Strategies for incorporating editing can also be discussed. Collaborative Planning Time: The YMA instructor will meet with a school representative to discuss the selection of a topic and a theme.  These will be selected by the school in consultation with YMA and finalized via phone and email in the week prior to instruction. Resources: YMA supplies digital cameras, sound equipment, cables, videotapes, and script templates. Performances/Exhibitions/Events: The school retains all projects for classroom screening after YMA training session. Although YMA focuses heavily on process rather than results, student projects are a useful archive of educational innovation and can give parents a welcome glimpse into their child’s classroom experience.   Special Requirement, Comments, Needs or Considerations: A school television is required.  Classes can be held wherever a television can be viewed.  If mutually agreeable, the number of classes served can be increased or decreased within the total allotment of 200 minutes per day.
