The Global Search for Education: Director of Rainshadow Hopes Film Will Be a Springboard for Learning Reform
What are the ways society should measure success other than testing and numbers? Kari Barber’s Rainshadow film won her the Best Nevada Filmmaker award from the state’s largest film festival. The film (curated for Planet Classroom by KIDS FIRST Film Festival), now screening on the Planet Classroom Network YouTube Channel, follows a Nevada community charter school called Rainshadow. Unlike other schools, Rainshadow embraces and focuses on creativity, which helps its students find purpose and meaning and an outlet to express themselves. However, low test scores make the institution a target for closure.
