Chronicling the lives and sacrifices of four public school teachers, "American Teacher" highlights an urgent crisis in the American educational system: how little we value our strongest, most committed, and most effective teachers, and the effect that has on how children learn.
The documentary tells the deeper story of the teaching profession in America today, and what we can do to invest in it for tomorrow. Following the screening will be a discussion with co-producer Nínive Calegari and others involved in the Teacher Salary Project.
