| Item Title: | Santa Barbara Junior High School New Course Approval – Acting for Camera | | Agenda Title: | Santa Barbara Junior High School New Course Approval – Acting for Camera | | Background: | The impetus behind Acting for Camera is the integration of the essential principles of acting and the dramatic world with the more technologically dependent realm of film and television. No other junior high school in the district offers such a course, although it can serve as and “exposure” primer for several courses offered at district high schools (video journalism, high school theatre programs, VADA, MAD, etc.). Basic acting and theatre arts concepts are covered, but the addition of electronic media and editing software will allow students to film, edit, and produce their own short films. | | Recommendation: | That the Board of Education approve the Santa Barbara Junior High School new course approval for Acting for Camera. | | Resource Person: | Dr. Ben Drati, Assistant Superintendent, Secondary Education | | Fiscal Impact: | None | | Funding Source: | |
