Anchorage School District SEL

Cinematographer/Editor

I traveled to Anchorage, Alaska, where I spent a morning filming with a class in the Anchorage School District for CASEL and Education First for whom I edited a pair of videos illustrating how Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is integrated into lessons in the classroom.

Here, Rene Michaud, 5th grade teacher at Ravenwood Elementary School in the Anchorage School District, integrates SEL into her lesson on bullying.

Oakland Unified School District SEL

In 2015, I shot and edited a series of over 50 videos on SEL for Oakland Unified School District as well as videos for the Mills Teacher Scholars Program at Mills College.  

For the OUSD  series, we went into the classroom to capture SEL moments and lessons as they unfolded, and interviewed students, teachers, principals, and superintendents, capturing a multi-level and layered view on what SEL looks like in the Oakland Unified School District right now.  

In this video, New Highland Elementary School teacher Aija Simmons, demonstrates integration of Academics and SEL in her classroom.
