Great way to launch Teacher Appreciation Week (May 7-11) with this film screening and discussion led by local teachers.
TEACHER OF THE YEAR is a documentary film that reveals the complex reality of teaching in the 21st century and explores the forces that influence a teacher's performance for the competing needs of audiences made up of students, parents, administrators, other teachers, politicians, and the public at large.

The film emphasizes Angela Panel Sciolii's (Wake County Teacher Leesville High) work as a performer for these varied audiences, and we document her struggles and triumphs to be a successful teacher, activist, mother, and wife. The film contends with the view of teachers shaped by seductive media experiences, which reduce teachers to the simplistic dichotomy of good or bad. The film demonstrates that teacher performance is difficult to quantify and dispels myths about teaching that may present a barrier to meaningful educational reform. FREE TO THE PUBLIC but registration required due to limited seating.
Discussion with audience after the film.
