Mitchell 20 Movie
Monday, February 13, 2012 | 6:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
Glendale Community College | Free

Mark your calendars! The National Center for Teacher Education (NCTE) and Glendale Community College (MCC) will be hosting a screening of the newly released Mitchell 20 movie. Mitchell 20 is a documentary about twenty teachers at Mitchell Elementary School, a high poverty school in the Isaac School District in Phoenix, who decided to improve the one thing they had control over - the quality of their teaching. Over a three year period, these teachers are followed as they attempt National Board Certification, a grueling program that is considered the most accurate measure of teacher effectiveness in relation to student achievement. This is a story of frustration, hope and purpose, and an amazing example of how we can fundamentally confront and overcome inequality in a society.

His classroom serves as a unique game-based technology and pedagogy lab where this new and innovative practice is producing exciting results.

At the university, Chris specializes in preparing pre-service teachers in methods and applications of technology integration in the classroom. In addition to instilling fundamental skills, Chris focuses on the use, adaptation, and implementation of emerging technologies in teacher education including gaming, mobile communication devices, portable media players, social networking tools, and virtual worlds.
