CASTING CALL FOR SKOOL'ED
Skool
– transitive verb
1. (Slang) to teach, e.g., "Oh man, I just got skooled!";
commonly used in basketball
2. To teach or drill in a specific knowledge or skill (e.g.,
“She is well skooled in languages.”)
3. To educate in an institution of learning
Kids are
experts at being kids. Teachers are experts at being teachers.
So what happens when they switch places? 6 kids and 10 adults
will spend 8 days getting skooled in what it means to be the
other. Who will learn more?
In this ultimate fish-out-of-water scenario, the adults will
learn ANYTHING the kids choose. They will also compete fiercely
with each other while undergoing intensive evaluations from
their young teachers! So while they’re trying to pull
off a killer skateboarding trick, or understand the social subcultures
of teenagers, the students will also be trying to just make
the grade! Talk about grace under pressure! Will the adults
thrive — or barely survive?

Outgoing Teachers with open minds, who aren’t afraid to
learn from kids. Having a specialty in a particular area would
