Its a Wild Ride
ETE VT1362

It's a Wild Ride at O'Leary Junior High introduces an interdisciplinary math, science and language arts project. Students learn about and apply laws of motion, linear functions, and technical reporting as they design and present an ultimate roller coaster-one that will bring more attendance to an amusement park threatened with bankruptcy. The video serves as a "table of contents" to introduce the resource-rich Web site. 15 minutes


Partnerships That Work
ETE VT1363

Economic and social barriers often put a community's great museums and science centers beyond the reach of many young people. Partnerships That Work, a 49-minute videotape and learning guide, shows how three of Boston's most popular science institutions joined with three community organizations to create an afterschool and summer science program that turns urban middle school kids on to science. The videotape and guide examine the program from a variety of perspectives: museum and zoo educators, community organization administrators, and the kids themselves. Packed with how-to details and insights, PartnershipsThat Work provides a valuable model for promoting institutional-community education collaborations nationwide. 45 mins

This inspiring documentary follows one hundred K-12 teachers in four cities around the US as they take part in the two-year Courage to Teach program. Gain valuable insight as you follow them through a sequence of seasonal retreats where they explore, in solitude and community, their gifts, their needs, their pains and joys--and move closer to the intersection of "soul" and "role" in their work as teachers. They, and we, find courage as they return to their classrooms with renewed sense of caring, commitment, creativity, and calling.
