Description

How do you discipline someone for insubordination when what they are doing is working? This film explores the challenges of curriculum adoption and instructional innovation. Driving implementation of a new curriculum or instructional approach can be tough and met with resistance if what was previously installed was working. In this film, the school leader finds herself dealing with a teacher who is a respected, master teacher who get results but refuses to follow mandates to implement a new curriculum. Do you squash a record of success or push forward with unproven, but required, methods?

AI Character Chatbots

The AI Character chatbots provide a rich and unique experience to talk to the characters from the film to learn more about their motivations, reasoning, choices, perspectives, feelings, or anything else of interest that may have about the case. You can talk to the characters for as long as you like and can ask them anything about the case in the film. Please note that these chatbots are hosted on the Boodlebox platform and will require a free account registration in order to access the bots.
