It’s Elementary is being re-released on DVD! Broadcast in 1999 on PBS channels throughout the US, It’s Elementary, looks at discussions about LGBTQ people and issues in six elementary and middle schools. As their website says, “It's Elementary models excellent teaching about family diversity, name-calling, stereotypes, community building and more.”
The DVD edition comes with lots of goodies. Included is: the full-length film, a 37-minute educational training version of the film, and a 136 page guide to “to community organizing, professional development and K-8 curriculum” in PDF form. Also on the disc is new documentary titled, It’s STILL Elementary, that looks at the effects the originally film had on the lives of some of the children and teachers featured in the film.
It’s a little out of my price range at the moment, but I will be waiting and hoping it comes to a PBS station near me soon! Ground Spark is taking pre-orders now.
