We are excited to invite all teachers to apply for one of the most transformative and effective professional development opportunities of a lifetime. Detroit Future Schools needs innovative, passionate, committed teachers to apply here!

This is an open invitation to all educators in Detroit, Highland Park and Hamtramck to apply for one of a few positions available for a year-long initiative to empower young people in our classrooms and communities by integrating the following into your classroom:

  • Digital Media Arts
  • Problem-Posing Pedagogy

Through your participation in this year-long program, you will be partnered with a digital media artist and you will explore several key questions:

  • What role can media and technology play in building Detroit's Future?
  • How can we ensure equitable access to the tools of information, creation and collaboration?
