Waiting for
Superman
This Thursday and Friday we began watching “Waiting for
Superman” a film which focuses on the public education system in the United
States. This movie appeals to the audio-visual learners according to Gardner’s
Theory of Multiple Intelligence and we are watching this firm for two main
purposes.
Firstly, to demonstrate how to integrate movie viewing
into curriculum and appeal to different student’s learning styles. This movie
introduces students to alternative materials and resources by using a
documentary feature film in the classroom.
Watching “Waiting for Superman” enable students to
identify major economic factors affecting learning
and educational practice, explain the history related to learning settings and institutions,
family and community involvement, and funding issues.
Students will engage in discussions and
Socratic to determine how history and factors that are affecting education and
determine what support and changes are needed to help teachers do their job as
effectively as possible to increase student outcomes.
