Multiple Choice Documentary Screening

Multiple Choice Documentary Screening

The Palace TheatreGreensburg, PA
Monday, Mar 16 from 5 pm to 8:30 pm
Overview

What if every student found their purpose before graduation? One community is making it happen. See the future of education in action.

For decades, America’s data-driven college-for-all agenda has created a no-win choice for high school graduates: take on the risk and expense of college or work a low-wage job. But in an economically challenged Virginia community, one superintendent is demonstrating the immense power of career-based learning—not as a last-chance resort for some, but as foundational for all. Multiple Choice explores the complicated history of American education that has led to career prep being neglected in favor of a test-heavy, high-stress "college for all" philosophy and offers an alternative vision that places students at the center of their learning. The film immersesviewers in Winchester's Innovation Center, where students explore diverse careers, collaborate, and master traditional and new-economy skills, offering an inspiring vision of kids finding joy in their learning as they create purposeful, prosperous future paths. In an age of unprecedented political turmoil and technological change, Multiple Choice examines our fundamental beliefs about the honor and dignity of work and challenges us to ask, in a world dominated by computer intelligence, what is our human edge? How can we future-proof our kids and our communities?
