LearningMatters | Learning Matters: School Sleuth - The Case of an Excellent School (2000) @LearningMatters | Uploaded September 2012 | Updated October 2024, 3 minutes ago.
When a mysterious woman hires Detective John Merrow to help her choose the right school for her children, the hard-nosed sleuth launches an investigation. It's not an easy case, particularly when he upsets the status quo. He discovers there are three kinds of schools: Bad, Good Enough, and Excellent.
Underneath the tongue-in-cheek humor, School Sleuth is a serious documentary that explores five key aspects of education: School Safety, Academic Quality, School Facilities, The Adults in Charge, and A School's Sense of Purpose. The program presents 25 practical measures of educational excellence beyond standardized tests scores and college acceptance rates.
School Sleuth received a First Place EWA Award, a Gold Hugo Television Award, and the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award.
