PAPER TIGERS *Special Virtual Screening* scheduled for September 17th, 2019 (24-hour viewing link & passcode) *Registration Deadline: 9/15/19*

 

KPJR FILMS is excited to announce the Virtual Screening of the award-winning ACEs documentary PAPER TIGERS, accessible all day nationally and internationally starting at 5:00 a.m. EST via private VIMEO viewing link on September 17th, 2019. 

PAPER TIGERS chronicles a year in the life of Lincoln High School in the community of Walla Walla, Washington. The kids who come to Lincoln have a history of truancy, behavioral problems and substance abuse. After Lincoln's principal is exposed to research about the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), he decides to radically change the school's approach to discipline. With the aid of diary camera footage, the film follows six students. From getting into fights, grappling with traumatic events in their lives, and on the cusp of dropping out, they find healing, support and academic promise at Lincoln High.

This special online screening is made possible through the partnership of Prevent Child Abuse America, Community Resilience Initiative (CRI), and Jim Sporleder Consulting 


Registration Deadline: Sunday, September 15th by 5:00 p.m. EDT
All viewing information, including Vimeo link and passcode, will be emailed to registrants on Monday 9/16.

LIVE Twitter Townhall®
feat. educator/author Jim Sporleder

A post-screening Twitter Townhall® will take place between 8:00pm EST - 9:00pm EST on September 17th, 2019, featuring educator, author and retired Principal of Lincoln High School in Walla Walla, WA, Jim Sporleder.

Jim Sporleder is the co-author of the bestselling book  The Trauma-Informed School: A Step-by-Step Implementation Guide for Administrators and School Personnel. As the feature of KPJR Films' September Book Club selection, The Trauma-Informed School is an all-inclusive guide designed to give school administrators of any school (elementary, middle or high school), step-by-step instructions of how to turn a school of any size into a trauma-informed school.

With over 250 pages of content, this guide gives you the protocols you need along with a link to download all the documents needed for a successful implementation.  

 
Whether you've seen the film, read the book, or are just interested in learning about the trauma-informed movement, TWEET YOUR QUESTIONS & COMMENTS using our conversation hashtag #KPJRBookClub to receive real-time answers from Jim himself! 

Jim Sporleder retired in 2014 as Principal of Lincoln High School in Walla Walla, WA.  Under Jim’s leadership, Lincoln High School became a “Trauma Informed” school, gaining national attention due to a dramatic drop in out of school suspensions, increased graduation rates and the number of students going on to post-secondary education.   These dramatic changes at Lincoln caught the attention of Jamie Redford, who spent a year filming the documentary, Paper Tigers, which tells the Lincoln story.  

Jim is currently working as a trauma-informed coach / consultant as well as a trainer with the Children’s Resilience Initiative, based in Walla Walla.  His travels as a consultant, keynote speaker, presenter and trainer have taken him all over the United States.

 
We'll be providing a series of resources, tool kits and trauma-informed information throughout the chat, in addition to insights and resources provided by Jim, so join or simply follow the discussion on Twitter at handle @KPJRFilms.
 
This Twitter conversation will help build critical momentum around ACEs awareness and trauma-informed practices.
We need your voice!

Laura - I'm sorry the post wasn't very timely. You might want to contact Cyndie Meyer with the Clark County ACEs Action Alliance. I think there is at lease one copy of the movie Paper Tigers in Clark County.  Tory
