The College of Education invites you to join us for a screening of the documentary film, “Tested”, which examines the fierce competition to win seats in New York City’s elite specialized high schools.

The director, Curtis Chin, followed a dozen eighth-graders from a range of racial and socioeconomic backgrounds as they studied for the single exam that determines admission into one of these eight schools.

The director will be here at UAH to introduce the film and to host a Q&A following the film. More information about the film can be found on the film's website: http://www.testedfilm.com/

Admission is free of charge and open to the public.
