DESCRIPTION:Free Screening of the documentary film, American Teacher.\n \nNarrated by 
 Matt Damon and based on a book by Dave Eggers, the film takes an honest 
 look at the complexities of teaching in a severely underfunded public 
 school system. \n\nIt is well documented that the most important 
 school-based factor in students’ academic achievement and future success 
 is the quality of their teachers, 46 percent of public school teachers 
 leave the profession within the first five years of being in the classroom. 
 \n\nSalaries and stress are among the top reasons teachers say they leave. 
 A good teacher has the power to change the course of a life—yet because 
 teachers in the United States have historically had an average annual 
 salary lower than their peers with similar educational backgrounds, 62 
 percent of our nation’s teachers must have second jobs outside of the 
 classroom-like tutoring, mowing lawns, selling stereos, or bartending—to 
 be able to afford to teach.\n
