Teacher Professional Development

MOPOP’s Teacher Professional Development occurs throughout the school year and features workshops, tours, curriculum development, and networking opportunities.

Our goal is to create experiences in which teachers engage with pop culture and each other; where we provide useful teaching tools that are interactive, fun, equitable for all learners, and easy to use.

High School Horror—Teacher Professional Development

May 17, 2025

How do horror filmmakers elicit specific responses from their audience? Participants will analyze scenes from Get Out (2017) and Umma (2022), learn about tools filmmakers use to generate a response from their audience, and then apply that to their own spine-chilling horror story. This workshop utilizes film techniques like music, camera angles, and dialogue. Educators will work in groups to discuss grade-level applications.
