SUMMARY:Free Film Screening: Beyond Measure -- Rescuing An Overscheduled\, Overtested\, Underestimated Generation
DESCRIPTION:This is free\, but you must RSVP: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/beyond-measure-presented-by-st-lukes-episcopal-school-tickets-19091028781 \n (Registration is at 5:30PM\, Seating at 6:00PM and Showtime at 6:30PM)  \nEvery 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 new ways to measure students and teachers. But what if these “fixes” are making our schools worse. \nIn Beyond Measure\, we set out to challenge the assumptions of our current education story. \n \n\n \nRather 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? \nIn 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. \n
