THE
SCREENAGERS
PROJECT
Get unlimited access to our movies, our full curriculum & lesson plans, exclusive content and more with our membership platform designed for schools.
About
Through our online platform, member schools enjoy on-demand access to our movies for their internal use - e.g. in the classroom, along with the option to run screenings of the movies at their school for the students and parents of their one school - i.e. Parents Nights.
Our extensive curriculum contains lesson plans for use in the classroom. Each lesson plan is tailored to a specific age group and builds on the themes of the movies.
Independently aligned with CASEL® SEL Competencies, this curriculum supports your existing Social Emotional Learning and Digital Citizenship programs.
Members will also have access to a range of additional resources exclusive to The Screenagers Project, designed to support educators and their communities.
FROM THE
FILMMAKER
When we released the first Screenagers movie, I couldn’t have imagined the impact it would make. Our movies have been seen by over 9 million people in more than 20,000 schools and communities around the world.
To this day, our website — filled with the resources, blogs and podcasts we've built and updated over the course of 10 years, continues to receive millions of visitors annually.
It is deeply humbling to have been trusted to support to so many communities over the years, which is why I am so pleased to present 'The Screenagers Project.'
This platform is designed for schools and brings together all of our movies and resources for unlimited use in the classroom — along with a curriculum & lesson plans, resources and more.
