The feature-length documentary Most Likely to Succeed examines the history of education in the United States, revealing some of the challenges of conventional education methods in today’s innovative world. The film explores compelling new approaches that aim to revolutionize school as we know it.
The screening takes place on Thursday, June 2, 2016 from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM at Skaneateles High School, 49 East Elizabeth Street, Skaneateles. This event is FREE and open to the general public courtesy of the Skaneateles Education Foundation [SEF].
The film is 90 minutes long followed by a discussion with Skaneateles Schools superintendent, Ken Slentz.
This film is taking the country by storm, appearing in dozens of film festivals nationwide. Its producers have traveled to screenings in all 50 states, engaging educators, community members, philanthropists, businesspeople, parents and students in a conversation about creating learning experiences that prepare kids for life in the 21st Century.
When the SEF planning committee previewed the film earlier this year, board member Miki Mahood said, “This film is simply a must-watch for parents and educators. It challenges the way we think about school. I’m especially eager to hear feedback from the community during the Q&A.”
The world is changing. Can our schools change with it? SEF is pleased to offer this opportunity for local communities to lend a voice to the important national discussion about student engagement and educational innovation.
