DC Education Issues Forum
Where: Greater DC Cares
Date: 2007-08-14 18:30:00
Type:
As DC’s new Chancellor of Schools recently commented, education has the potential to be the true equalizer within our divided society. Unfortunately, for DC’s youth, that promise continues to remain unmet by the local public school system. Despite the best efforts of our local educators and the fact that DC has one of the highest per-pupil spending rates in the country, our city’s test scores consistently fall in the bottom of national rankings. Many have argued that the failures of our system result from issues such as: · Frequent turnover in school leadership and staff · Misappropriated allocation of resources, both financial and material · Anachronistic state of the system’s infrastructure On August 14th from 6:30 to 8:30 pm, Greater DC Cares will host a forum to discuss how these issues and others affect college access, early childhood education, adult and vocational education, and special education within the context of the District’s educational system. Join us to better understand the issues and learn specific, actionable steps to directly contribute to this important cause. Panelists Include: - College Summit’s National Capital Region Director - Martha Ross, of the Brookings Institution’s Greater Washington Research Program - Jesse Bailey, Campaign Director, Pre-K for All DC - Anne Gay, past DCPS Assistant Superintendent for Special Education For more information or to RSVP, contact Maya Graham at mgraham@greaterdccares.org or (202) 777-4445. As always, our event is free and open to the public. Space is limited, so please sign up when possible. Location: 1727 I St., NW, Washington, DC.

Daniel Burkholder/The PlayGround
Where: Dance Place
Date: 2007-04-28 20:00:00
Type:
Daniel Burkholder / The PlayGround combines the formalism of choreography with the immediacy of improvisation. Director Daniel Burkholder “relishes the unknown and he encourages his colleagues to push themselves to the edge and beyond” (Washington Post). He presents my ocean is never blue, an original work of dance and music that explores the mythological, personal, societal and political aspects of water. A presence in every great mythology, water often symbolizes rebirth or renewal. In our personal life, water is necessary for survival; able to bring a sense of either serenity or fear. Former World Bank president Ismail Seregeldin stated that “the wars of the next century will be fought over water.” Choreographed and directed by Daniel Burkholder with original music by Jonathan Morris, the four dancers and two musicians will develop, create and solidify this material together during the rehearsal process. An artist co-presentation.
