Beyond Measure: Film Screening and Discussion
2020-10-14 18:30 - 19:30
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.
Participants will register through Eventbrite. You will be sent a link to screen the film, Beyond Measure. You must view the film between October 7 and 14 and participate in the follow-up session on October 14, 2020 to receive 2.5 hours of credit. This is a 2-part class. Everyone who registers for the film screening will also be sent a Zoom link to the follow up discussion on October 14 from 6:30-7:30PM. The cost is free.

Strengthening Families Series - Parental Resilience
2021-06-16 17:30 - 19:30
Parental Resilience is the belief that families have the courage to get through stressful times and navigate a crisis.

From NTI to working from home, our families have been demonstrating a tireless commitment to their children and the workforce. Let’s discuss what each of us can do to support families and recognize this courage. 4-C hopes this session will examine your understanding of resilience, which is not an innate gift that one receives at birth but instead is a skill we can all develop with intentionality. By the end of the session you will be able to define resilience and will be able to apply concrete skills that support the development of resilience.
