The Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art’s next Teacher
Night on May 19 includes a screening of Most
Likely to Succeed.
Teacher night is free and open to all educators. Along with
the screening and viewing art on the display at the center, the night will
include curriculum-based tours, lesson plans and materials, tech demos, along
with time to relax and refreshments.
The open house portion of the night is scheduled for 4 to 6 p.m.
The screening is scheduled for 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. with a discussion to follow.
Screened at Sundance, this documentary focuses on the story of
a school in San Diego that is completely rethinking what the experience of
going to school looks like. As we follow students, parents and teachers through
a truly unorthodox school experience, the audience is forced to consider what
sort of educational environment is most likely to succeed in the 21st century?
As The Hollywood Reporter put it: “It quickly becomes clear that Most Likely to Succeed sees very little point in looking at education reform from a political standpoint. This is a film about parents, teachers and, most importantly, students, namely the grassroots participants that make up all the statistics we hear about on the nightly news. We see their victories and defeats, their excitement and anxiety.”
SECCA would like to thank Kaplan Inc. and Gryphon House Books for their generous support.
