About the Project

Teacher Roundtables: Voices in Education is an emerging film series that facilitates open and honest conversations with educators. Each roundtable explores a single issue impacting teaching and learning environments and highlights the innovative strategies teachers develop to address these issues. The goal is to produce one roundtable discussion per year and eventually provide a tool kit for K-12 teachers so they can design and facilitate their own roundtables in their schools. The first film explored teacher creativity during the pandemic, while the second film - COMING SOON - discusses the initial perception of Generative AI in education.
