The current educational system in the U.S. was developed a century ago during the rise of the industrial age and was once the envy of the world. However, the world economy has since transformed profoundly, but the U.S. education system has not. Schools are attempting to teach and test skills, when mastered, that still leave graduates woefully unprepared for the 21st century.
Please join us for a screening and discussion of “Most Likely to Succeed”, a short documentary film about how and why our schools need to change to meet our needs today. The documentary tells the story of a school in San Diego that is completely rethinking what the experience of going to school looks like. As they follow its 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.
