More and more teachers are talking about the film Race to Nowhere. Featuring the heartbreaking stories of young people pushed to the brink, students who have become disengaged, and teachers frustrated with the fact that no one is listening to their concerns.
Race to Nowhere is a call to mobilize families, teachers, and policy makers to challenge current assumptions on how to best prepare the youth of America to become healthy, bright, contributing, and responsible citizens.
Teachers with parents are coming together, using the film as a centerpiece for raising awareness and creating an affirmative dialogue around public education.
An Invitation to Teachers - Become part of the Race to Nowhere conversation and contribute to a Race to Nowhere book that is being written. The purpose of the book is to create a solutions-based road map, offering meaningful and sustainable ideas in response to top-down so-called education reform measures. If you would like more information or to contribute to this book contact Vicki H. Abeles or Laureen Rowland directly.
