AMERICAN TEACHER delves into the core of our educational crisis as seen through the eyes and experiences of our nation's teachers. This project is based on the New York Times bestselling book Teachers Have It Easy: The Big Sacrifices and Small Salaries of America's Teachers by journalist and teacher Daniel Moulthrop, co-founder of the 826 National writing programs Nínive Calegari, and writer Dave Eggers. American Teacher is produced by Eggers and Calegari, produced and directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Vanessa Roth, and narrated by Matt Damon.

American Teacher is initially scheduled for limited theatrical release. Already, leaders in other areas of the country are volunteering to host community screenings. Don't miss your opportunity to join these leaders and show this important film in your community. Microsoft Partners in Learning is the Exclusive Community Screening Partner for American Teacher, providing the resources necessary for any educator, school administrator, concerned parent, community leader or non-profit organization to host a screening. This means you. Open a dialogue about how your community can honor and reward effective teachers today, and engage and attract the next generation of teachers tomorrow.
