Charlotte Community Forum on Education & Mobility: What School Should Be A Community Conversation with Ted Dintersmith & Charlotte Leaders
Attendees will watch a free screening of the acclaimed Sundance documentary about the need to transform Education in America — Most Likely to Succeed — which experts say, “This Film should be a Required Course for ALL Parents and Educators.”
Afterwards, a “Community Conversation” with attendees will ensue as executive producer Ted Dintersmith is interviewed alone onstage. Then joining Dintersmith will be a group of local prestigious leaders who have been addressing the crisis that surfaced in Charlotte when a Harvard-UC Berkely Report recently found Charlotte ranked last out of America’s 50 largest cities in terms of its youth being able to ever realize upward economic & social mobility.
Panelists:
Ted Dintersmith, Author, Documentary Producer, Innovation & Education Expert
Dr. Clayton Wilcox, CMS Superintendent of Schools
Dr. Richard Zollinger, CPCC VP of Learning
Clifton Vann, CEO of Hyde Park Partners & NC Education Reform Advocate
Rod Garvin, Charlotte Chamber VP of Talent Development
