At EVC, we believe there is no better way to teach students the power of story telling and community inquiry than to give them the tools to become researchers, producers, authors, and editors. We also believe there is no better way for teachers to develop the skills needed to implement this inquiry-based method than for them to experience it themselves as hands-on learners.
Based on 25 years of Educational Video Center’s award-winning youth media programs, the Youth-Powered Video Institute provides teachers with a repertoire of proven teaching techniques and basic production skills to engage students in learning and increase their literacy and academic skills.
