Epiphany in Progress... The Film

“This film is sure to provoke heated discussions about teaching and learning, institution building, parental involvement, what constitutes a critical and relevant curriculum for urban youth, teaching across racial and class differences, and preparing teachers and administrators for working in urban settings.”
Michele Foster, author,
Black Teachers on Teaching

“The film provides an in-depth examination of a start-up private school. It explores the complex issues that arise when well-meaning, liberal, middle-class educators try to create a school to serve low-income minority children. For individuals and organizations contemplating similar ventures this film will be very informative.”
Pedro Noguera, professor,
Harvard Graduate School of Education
