Equity in Education Film Festival

When:
Starz Theatre Auraria Campus, 900 Auraria Parkway

Where:
Saturday, September 17.

Along with the Office of P-20 Education Initiatives and Anschutz Medical Center Office of Inclusion and Diversity, the Center for Culturally Responsive Urban Education is hosting a two-day film festival on September 16th and 17th, 2011. The focus of the Equity in Education Film Festival is to provide a venue for critical inquiry about the issues that impact public schools and education reform and bring together the multiple perspectives of various stakeholders teachers, school personnel, policy makers, academics, community members, families, and students. Our mission is to frame the ideas from a larger context of education reform in urban schools, to provoke thought on the issues through narratives and counter-narratives from the films, and shift the way we as a community have conversations about the issues that impact Colorado schools.
