The Teacher in Film: An Online Exploration (3)
This course focuses on films in which a teacher is the central character. Students will study these films as a cinematic art form, as positive inspirational role models for teachers, and as unrealistic examples that shape the public's view concerning teaching. Within the course, students will not view these films one by one (although they may if they choose), but rather view carefully selected illustrative segments from five or more films, each introduced and summarized with instructor prepared commentary. The focus of these segments may portray a universal situation, a conflict, a character type, for example, all of which appear again and again in the genre of teacher film. Segments come from such films as Goodbye Mr. Chips, Dead Poet's Society, Dangerous Minds, The Emperor's Club, School of Rock, Stand and Deliver, Up the Down Staircase, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, To Sir with Love, and Blackboard Jungle. Students will view these segments, complete online assignments, participate in online chats, analyze and critique a film that is not among the 10 films viewed, and complete a final course paper. There are no face-to-face class meetings.
