SUMMARY:FILM SCREENING:  Beyond Measure: What Counts Can’t Be Counted
DESCRIPTION:Wilton Public Schools\, Wilton Youth Council and Wilton Youth Services invite Wilton residents to a special three-part series to explore the purpose of education\, the importance of childhood and our community’s opportunity to chart the best course for our children. \nThe series began in November with a screening of Race to Nowhere: The Dark Side of America’s Achievement Culture. It continues on Monday\, Feb. 4 with a screening of the follow-up movie\, Beyond Measure. We conclude with a Community Conversation on Monday\, Feb. 25. \nEvery day we hear stories about America’s troubled education system\, and that in order to fix what’s broken\, we need to narrow curricula\, standardize classrooms\, and find new ways to measure students and teachers. But what if these “fixes” are making our schools worse? Beyond Measure offers a positive picture of what’s possible in American education when communities decide they are ready for change. \nJoin us for 80-minute film followed by a brief panel discussion. This is a free event\, open to adults and students from middle school up. \nThe documentary film Beyond Measure visits public schools across the country that put research and innovative models into practice. These groundbreaking communities are transforming what and how they teach\, and creating more equitable\, empowering and student-centered cultures from the ground up. \nFrom the makers of Race to Nowhere\, Beyond Measure and the companion book of the same name offer a positive picture of what’s possible in American education when communities decide they are ready for change. \nThere are two opportunities to participate–a morning screening and an evening screening! Both screenings will be held at Middlebrook School Auditorium. Register here: \n10 a.m. Screening \n7 p.m. Screening \nSponsored by Wilton Public Schools\, Wilton Youth Council\, and Wilton Youth Services. \n

SUMMARY:The Pressure to be Perfect and Its Unintended Consequences
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Alicia Farrell\, Ph.D. \nWe are raising our children in complicated times where performance is valued over character. In such a competitive world\, parents\, educators and leaders are unwittingly passing on to their children pressure to be perfect. In turn\, our children are feeling inadequate\, anxious\, overwhelmed\, stressed\, scared and tired. This talk is designed to address how we arrived at this place and what we can do about it. Here are some questions that will be answered: \n\nWhat does it mean to be perfect and what are the consequences of trying?\nHow do we balance embracing our children’s imperfections with the importance of working hard and doing your best?\nWhat are the benefits of failure and why is it critically important to our children’s development?\nWhat are healthy\, age-appropriate expectations and how do we communicate them without shame and fear?\nHow do boys and girls experience and respond to the pressure to achieve differently?\nWhat is the relationship between the pressure to be perfect and the nationwide increase of anxiety disorders\, addiction\, and suicide in children and adolescence?\n\nIt is time for change. Knowledge is key. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn! \nThis program is appropriate for parents with children of all ages. \n10-11:30 a.m. at Wilton Library (137 Old Ridgefield Road\, Wilton):  The presentation is free to attend\, but registration is recommended either online or by calling 203.762.6334. \n7-8:30 p.m. at Weston Library (56 Norfield Road\, Weston):  The presentation is free to attend\, but online registration is recommended. \nSponsored by:  Wilton Library\, Wilton Youth Council\, Wilton Youth Services\, Weston Youth Services\, and Weston Library
