Assessment

1. Authentic Assessment: Setting the Stage

Summary: The first Module in the series presents today's most updated thinking on the assessment of young children. The validity of Authentic Assessment techniques to chart children's growth and development versus the use of standardized testing will be discussed. This module sets the stage for understanding how children are observed within the context of their play as well as their culture, and how these observations are important to understanding their total development. When children are observed in the Social/Emotional, Cognitive, Physical and Language domains of development, teachers are better able to align assessment with curriculum. The limits of standardized testing will be discussed by center directors, education coordinators and representatives of how authentic assessment techniques give teachers and parents a total picture of the young child's development. The importance of these assessments in informing funding sources and other stakeholders will also be addressed. Produced in 2004.

4. Misunderstood Minds: Searching for Success in School

Summary: As many as one in five families are coping with children who struggle to learn. Many of these children don’t fit any clinical diagnosis, but for some reason, they aren’t learning. Though these children may be suffering from debilitating learning problems, they are often mistakenly called “lazy” or “stupid” by teachers, classmates, and even by their families. But learning specialists believe that they now possess a key that will ultimately help struggling students, their parents, and teachers better identify and manage learning problems—each mind works differently and has it own unique strengths and weaknesses. This documentary illustrates the emerging view that specific identification and customized management of learning problems is the key to success for the millions of children struggling in school, featuring experts of the field, such as Mel Levine, M.D., G. Reid Lyon, Ph.D., Edward M. Hallowell, M.D. and Richard D. Lavoie, M.A. M.Ed.

Philosophy of Education

1. Derrida

Summary: One of the most influential and iconoclastic figures of the 20th century, French philosopher and father of "deconstruction" Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) has single-handedly altered the way we look at history, language, art and film. In the spirit of Derrida's work, acclaimed filmmakers Kirby Dick (SICK: THE LIFE AND DEATH OF BOB FLANAGAN, SUPERMASOCHIST) and Amy Ziering Kofman have created an innovative and entertaining portrait by questioning the very concept of biography itself. Featuring a mesmerizing score by Oscar-winning composer Ryuichi Sakamoto (THE LAST EMPEROR), DERRIDA is a playful and provocative glimpse at a visionary thinker as he ruminates on everything from SEINFELD to the sex lives of ancient philosophers. This Edition features additional rare interview footage with Derrida.
