About the film
In an economically-challenged Virginia community, one superintendent is demonstrating the immense power of career-based learning — not as a last-chance resort for some, but as foundational for all — in ways that benefit the career-bound AND the college-bound. The film immerses viewers in the district’s Innovation Center, where students explore diverse careers, collaborate, and master traditional and new-economy skills. Amid political turmoil and technological upheaval, Multiple Choice offers an inspiring vision of kids finding purposeful paths, with a community united toward the goal of prosperity for all.

Why we’re screening this film
ASU and Mesa Public Schools have worked together for years to develop new models of school. We welcome caring and careful innovations that center the needs of learners and prepare them for the jobs of the next economy and the obligations of citizenship. And we believe that all of us — K-12 schools, universities, businesses and the communities we share — can and must work together to develop new and effective ways to teach and learn.
