Education forum to present the screening of American Teacher Dec. 13

12.11.2011
The Tulsa Metro Chamber’s next education forum brings the feature-length documentary American Teacher to the Tulsa community. The film is narrated by Academy Award-winner Matt Damon. The forum will be held Dec. 13 from 3 -5:30 p.m. at the OSU-Tulsa auditorium located at 700 N. Greenwood Ave.,Tulsa, OK. A panel discussion will occur immediately following the film. This is an exciting opportunity to view the praised documentary in advance of the 2012 release date. 

American Teacher chronicles the stories of four teachers - Erik Benner, Jonathan Dearman, Jamie Fidler, and Rhena Jasey - who live and work in disparate urban and rural areas of the country. By following these teachers as they reach different milestones in their careers, the film tells the deeper story of the teaching profession in America today. The film shows us the experience of these four young teachers as they recognize the importance of what they do, and how much they love what they do, but ask: can I afford to continue to teach?

To RSVP for this exciting event, please email sharongoswick@tulsachamber.com or call 918-560-0276.

American Teacher is produced and directed by Academy Award–winning filmmaker Vanessa Roth; produced by Nínive Calegari, co-founder of the literacy non-profit 826 National, and best-selling author Dave Eggers.
