Public school teachers take the big screen

As promised, the Learning First Alliance has released their final installment of their interview with best-selling author Dave Eggers at the Public School Insights Web site. BoardBuzz was happy to have the scoop on Egger's plans for a documentary that depicts the lives of public school teachers. Eggers will collaborate with Vanessa Roth, an Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker to illustrate the every-day challenges that teachers face in their professional lives. The documentary will include footage from four public school educators and individual footage from video diaries that teachers from across the country have been recording for the past year. The two hope that the documentary will be a breakthrough moment and tipping point for creating support for public education, like an Inconvenient Truth did for the environment. BoardBuzz hopes so too! Don't forget to check out the website Egger's mentions in the interview,Once Upon A School , which was created to inpsire adults to support their local public schools and to collect 1000 stories from those who take the challenge to participate. BoardBuzz gives special thanks to Public School Insights for sharing Dave Egger's great plans -- we recommend you check it out!
