Our college has produced a series of documentaries on various topics related to educational themes of interest to our faculty and students. Check out our latest features:

Heartbeat of the Neighborhood: The Future is in Our Schools

“Heartbeat of the Neighborhood: The Future is in Our Schools” is a powerful documentary that sheds light on the incredible impact that educators have on our communities. This eye-opening film takes you on a journey through one Kansas school that highlights the impact just a single teacher can have in their community. We hope this documentary will encourage you to take part in your community and uplift the children in your local schools!

Revive: Solving the Challenges of Teacher Retention

“Revive: Solving the Challenges of Teacher Retention” is an upcoming feature length documentary on teacher retention in the United States. Filmed in three diverse school districts in Kansas, this documentary sheds light on the challenges faced by educators, as well as the innovative solutions implemented to address teacher shortages and retention.

Beyond Fences and Fields

Rural Education is a vital part of the United States educational system but often gets overlooked. In Beyond Fences and Fields, we capture the stories of three rural school districts across Kansas. While each districts situation is unique, they all show the power that educators can have in supporting and growing rural communities. They also show us what makes these communities such great places to live and teach in.
