FREE SCREENING OF BEYOND MEASURE
|
|
Subheading
Join the Milton Community Alliance for Mental Wellness and the Summit Counseling Center on Monday, November 9th at 7:00PM in the Milton High School auditorium for a screening of the brand new documentary "Beyond Measure," from the makers of "Race to Nowhere." This event is open to the public and FREE! Tickets are required and available through the following link: TICKETS FOR BEYOND MEASURE
Every day we hear stories about America's troubled education system. And we're told that in order to fix what's broken, we need to narrow our curricula, standardize our classrooms, and find news ways to measure students and teachers. But what if these "fixes" are making our schools worse.
In Beyond Measure, we set out to challenge the assumptions of our current education story.
Rather than ask why our students fail to measure up, this film asks us to reconsider the greater purpose of education. What if our education system valued personal growth over test scores? Put inquiry over mimicry? Encouraged passion over rankings? What if we decided that the higher aim of school was not the transmission of facts or formulas, but the transformation of every student? And what if this paradigm-shift was driven from the ground up? By students, parents, and educators? By all of us?
In Beyond Measure, we find a revolution brewing in public schools across the country. From rural Kentucky to New York City, schools that are breaking away from an outmoded, test-driven education are shaping a new vision for our classrooms. These are schools that see critical thinking, communication, exploration, experimentation, collaboration, and creativity as the key to good education. And they are dramatically improving outcomes for children of all backgrounds. They are schools where practically every student graduates and goes on to finish college.
Beyond Measure
offers a positive picture of what's possible in American education when communities decide they are ready for change. Are you? - Beyond Measure
