Feeling ground down by property tax bills, governance battles, back-to-school shopping, maybe even by the very fact of being back in school? Please join us to reconnect with the sense of excitement and uplift that education ought to be about.
U-32 and Washington Central Supervisory Union are holding a free public screening of director Greg Whiteley's education documentary "Most Likely To Succeed" in the U-32 auditorium on the evening of Wednesday 16 September.
We're not going to the trouble because we buy into everything the film contains. We're showing the film because a) it is a highly accomplished piece of work, b) it shows what some of our teachers and administrators have been up to in their professional development, c) it conveys a sense of the most advanced thinking on education in the U.S. at present, and d) it enables us to launch the discussions we need to start having among ourselves and with you, the public, in order to develop proficiency-based graduation requirements, the Next Big Thing on our agenda.
You'll hear more about these PBGRs in future reminders.
The movie runs for 90 minutes. We're reserving a hard-stop 30 minutes afterwards to talk about it as interactively (but also as coherently) as possible.
All are welcome, no matter where you live or what school you or your children or your neighbors' children go to. The issues affect all of us alike.
