"The Providence Effect" documents one of the great success stories in American education. Providence St. Mel School on Chicago's West Side which has, for 29 straight years, placed 100 percent of its high-school graduates in colleges. Please join us and see this inspiring documentary about closing the achievement gap in an urban environment through a "WHATEVER IT TAKES" approach to helping at-risk kids learn at very high levels.
Workforce preparedness and quality education for all is one of the most critical issues facing our region and country today. If we can duplicate programs being utilized by high-performing schools, we can increase the number of quality school options for all children in the region.
"The Providence Effect" at Cobo Hall with a community conversation immediately following the film with Providence Englewood's Principal, Angela Johnson-Williams, lead by Mike Tenbusch, VP Educational Preparedness, UWSEM.
(full-length showing of the movie at 7:30 pm in Room M2-29)
The purpose of this event is to engage and deepen community understanding of what constitutes quality education and what the community can do to facilitate Detroit education improvement.
