You Saw It Here First...
While poking around the internet today, we encountered what looks like the trailer to Dave Eggers' and Vanessa Roth's planned documentary on the professional lives of teachers. Eggers told me in our recent interview that they intend the documentary to transform public perceptions of teaching and fuel much stronger public support for public schools.
Eggers, a best-selling author, and Roth, an Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker, certainly have the talent and fame to get their film noticed. Still, they have their work cut out for them.
Anyway, I suspect we'll hear more about this documentary in the coming months.

I love watching what goes
I love watching what goes behind the scenes of professional teachers. I wanted to be a teacher before and I certainly would like to get a glimpse of what could have been.
