I am sure you are wondering who made this film and why????

 

 

Dawn and Jimj O'Keefe co-produced Go Public. They have been married 28 years and have four children who attended public school in Pasadena. 

 

They made the film to bring people into the public schools so they would have a more informed understanding of the complexity and beauty as well as the challenges that are very real due to the repeated budget cuts. They wanted to create informed advocates so next time a community faces decision s about whether to pass a parcel tax or bond measure, there will be an appreciation for our schools and for what the accomplish every day.

 

The film shows public education is working, but also facing many challenges. They want people to see the movei to become advocates for public education. All the decisions made about public schools are made by people who are not living the public school experience. 

 

This is a special event. The film is only shown in limited release and there will be a limited amount of seats! Tickets  will be first come first serve until they sell out.

Speaking, Listening and the Common Core Curriculum!

In addition, to reading, writing and math, the Common Core curriculum will acknowledge the need for students to be a proficient speakers and listeners. Although written communication is important, the US workplace places a high value on speaking and listening skills as well. With the advent of texting, proper, formal speech barely exists; however, it is important that students be able to properly communicate with coworkers and superiors in the workplace.

The Common Core will focus on the following skills:

·      How to communicate with adults who are older than they are with sufficient interest and respect to encourage mutual conversation and interaction.

·      How to raise an issue with a superior or colleague without resorting to emotion or inappropriate language.

·      How to negotiate when they aren't getting what they want or feel they deserve.

·      How to deal with difficult people whose communication skills are not as good as their own.

·      How to use humor to relieve tension and to make communication more enjoyable.

These skills will be recognized and valued in the Common Core as teachers prepare students for college, the workplace and society.

"Go Public: The Day in the Life of an American School District" Movie Premier Limited Engagement at Redondo Galleria on March 4th at 7:30pm

I am so excited to present the new education documentary "Go Public."

"Go Public" features a day in the life of an American school district including snapshots from the lives of students and families beginning from sunrise to bedtime on May 8, 2012. The videographers recorded 50 subjects and visited 28 schools in a single day throughout a diverse district. Unlike other documentaries, snippets of the school day speak for themselves. There is no narrative or commentary. Interactions with students are captured in a series of moments that weave together in a way that is mesmerizing, mundane, dramatic, funny and gripping. Go Public is a layered, moving and inspiration film that communicates a call to action to support public schools everywhere despite their dwindling resources. It celebrates the challenges and treasures while reminding us that their main goal is to help our children succeed

This is a special event. The film is only shown in limited release and there will be a limited amount of seats! Tickets will go on sale today Jan 29th and will be first come first serve until they sell out.  Please forward this email and tell all your friends and families and anyone that cares about children, teachers and education:)!!!! Look forward to seeing you all there!
