Reimagining Safety film Screening and Discussion
2024-12-06 18:00 - 19:30 (America/Denver) | Manual High School, 1700 E 28th Ave, Denver, CO, 80205, United States
Worldwide protests following the 2020 murder of George Floyd included calls to defund or abolish the police until a sharp rise in crime gave politicians and police supporters the fuel they needed to suppress the movement. Unfortunately, a detailed conversation about transforming public safety was never had. In this film (shot on iPhone), 10 experts discuss how policing and incarceration create more harm than good, why the system persists, and what changes can be made to make everyone safe.
​In the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, director Matthew Solomon returned to school to earn a master’s degree in Public Administration in order to better position himself to use his privilege and access to help work towards positive social change. In his MPA program, Matthew began applying the coursework regarding sustainability and workable societies to the issues with policing and incarceration. He thought this would be a step away from filmmaking, however, his academic advisors suggested he create a documentary film for his thesis project. “Reimagining Safety” is that film.

Webinar Series: 2025 Legislative Prep Session: Education Challenges and Solutions
December 3-12, 2024
Hosted by the Learning Policy Institute
Co-sponsored by Education Commission of the States, National Association of State Boards of Education, and National Conference of State Legislatures
The 2025 legislative session is just weeks away and brings the opportunity for state policymakers to address their pressing education challenges with evidence-based policy solutions. From rethinking teacher preparation pathways, improving teacher retention, and ending shortages to re-engaging students and adjusting to decreased federal funding and declining student enrollment, there are many issues for policymakers to tackle—and they are all priorities. LPI and partners developed this timely webinar series to give policymakers and others a leg up on the 2025 legislative session with the most up-to-date research, tools, and examples of effective, evidence-based state policy approaches. Participants can tune in to any sessions of interest, whether it’s one or all four.
Building and Retaining the Teacher Workforce
December 3 | 3 – 4 p.m. ET | State policies impact both teaching conditions and equitable student access to well-qualified teachers. What policy approaches influence teacher supply, demand, and retention, and what can your state consider to better support teachers and students?
