Teacher Rountables
Teacher Roundtables: Voices in Education is a 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.
