Description 1 online resource (streaming video file) (221 min.) : flv file, sound, color Summary HIGH SCHOOL II is a film about Central Park East Secondary School (CPESS), a successful alternative high school in New York's Spanish Harlem, 85-95% of whose graduates go on to four year colleges. The film illustrates the school's emphasis on the "Habits of Mind" program (weighing evidence; awareness of multiple points of view; seeing connections and relationships; speculating on possibilities; and assessing values). Sequences illustrating the school's approach to learning include: classroom activities in the humanities and sciences; family conferences; discussions of race, class, and gender; faculty meetings; disciplinary problems; sex education; conflict resolution by students; and student council meetings Notes Title from title frames Credits Photography, John Davey Event Originally produced by Frederick Wiseman (Zipporah) in 1994 Notes In English with optional closed captioning Subject Central Park East Secondary School (New York, N.Y.)
