You are invited to a free film presentation
and community conversation on June 28th

Unitarian Universality Church, 2120 N. Fee Lane, Bloomington

Rise Above the Mark is a documentary that captures the struggles of public education and sparks much-needed conversations around public education.  This film provides a glimpse inside Indiana’s classrooms and the challenges teachers and students experience as increased legislation and standardized testing cause restrained learning environments and oppressive time constraints. 

Following the screening, there will be a facilitated conversation using a Critical Friends Group protocol. The use of this protocol gives everyone equal time to speak, and helps us all focus on reflection, active listening and delving deeper into the issues presented in the film toward possible action or change.

If you have any questions about this event, please contact Gina at 812-325-1224 or email rweir32@gmail.com.
