Special Focus Session DES72

Breakthrough: Film Screening followed by Q&A with Filmmaker

Date Friday, Dec 8  Time   –    Room Charlottenburg 2

There are nearly 50 million children in public school in the United States and a large percentage of them are not getting the education they need and deserve. Efforts to reform the existing system in the country have repeatedly resulted in incremental change at best - and educators are understandably frustrated by the fact that the system is built to resist significant change at any level. This documentary will show you a concerted effort to innovate school from the ground level up. The team behind it hopes that teachers, principals and reformers will be inspired to take a risk to reinvent their own schools. Sit back… and engage!
