SUMMARY:Big View: No Small Matter
DESCRIPTION:No Small Matter is the first feature documentary to explore the most overlooked\, underestimated\, and powerful force for change in America today: early childhood education. Through poignant stories and surprising humor\, the film lays out the overwhelming evidence for the importance of the first five years and reveals how our failure to at on that evidence has resulted in an everyday crisis for American families\, including here in Itasca County. \nNo Small Matter is built from stories of real children\, families\, and teachers\, illustrating the impact of high-quality early childhood experiences. We meet the parents who are struggling to do their best for their kids\, incredible teachers who model what early childhood classrooms should and could be like\, and children learning and developing in real time. These positive\, hopeful stories remind us that change is necessary\, critical\, and attainable is we put our minds to it. There are 24 million children under the age of six in America today. \nYou know how many of them have to be taken care of all day\, every day by an adult?\nAll of them them. \nAny issue that has the potential to adversely impact people in poverty may become the subject of a Big View Community Engagement meeting.\nCommunity members from all income levels are welcome to attend and encouraged to engage in respectful dialogue around meeting topics.\nIt is our position at Circles of Support to uphold the voice and dignity of the poor. \nAudience input & discussion follows film \nFree and open to the public \nPlease register by contacting Michelle Toven at 218-656-2027 or michellet@kootasca.org \nMeeting materials will be provided to all registrants one day in advance of each event by email. \n➢ Discussion questions \n➢ Link to join Zoom meeting \n➢ Optional background reading \nHigher income parents have more money and time to invest in their kids’ early care and education. As a result\, kids from wealthier families start kindergarten up to two years ahead of low income kids\, a gap in opportunity that becomes a gap in achievement\, which only reinforces the cycle of poverty.
