Mickey Mouse Monopoly: Disney, Childhood & Corporate Power
Description: http://www.mediaed.org The Disney Company's massive success in the 20th century is based on creating an image of innocence, magic and fun. Its animated films in particular are almost universally lauded as wholesome family entertainment, enjoying massive popularity among children and endorsement from parents and teachers. Mickey Mouse Monopoly takes a close and critical look at the world these films create and the stories they tell about race, gender and class and reaches disturbing conclusions about the values propagated under the guise of innocence and fun. This daring new video insightfully analyzes Disney's cultural pedagogy, examines its corporate power, and explores its vast influence on our global culture. Including interviews with cultural critics, media scholars, child psychologists, kindergarten teachers, multicultural educators, college students and children, Mickey Mouse Monopoly will provoke audiences to confront comfortable assumptions about an American institution that is virtually synonymous with childhood pleasure. Interviewees include Henry Giroux, Diane Levin, Gail Dines, Elizabeth Hadley, Carolyn Newberger, Alvin Poussaint, and Justin Lewis.

UCLA SMP Classroom Walk-Throughs Introduction
Description: Classroom Walk-Throughs is a four-day, interactive institute that provides educators with practical experience in using a protocol to observe students at work in classrooms and debrief their observations in order to identify patterns of successful learning. This non-evaluative, non-judgmental protocol surfaces useful data about student learning and ties it to effective instructional practice through professional inquiry based on educators' questions about student learning. Over the four days of the institute, participants can expect to: * learn and practice a protocol for observing students as they work; * design effective focus questions for classroom observations at the schools they will be visiting and at their own school site; * participate in non-judgmental observation debriefs to identify patterns of practice that result in high levels of student learning; * identify patterns and trends in student data that suggest areas for professional inquiry; * practice the art of questioning to build trust and surface new perspectives; and, * establish priorities for focused, collaborative action across multiple school initiatives.
