Elaine Moore, a veteran teacher
in Eagle River, Alaska, is a firm believer that the classroom
is, first and foremost, a community—and that learning
is best when shared in a circle of peers. When one of
her students, ten-year-old Seamus Farrell, is diagnosed
with terminal cancer. Elaine and her innovative teaching
methods are put to the test. Elaine’s
Circle is a heartfelt look at the remarkable achievement
of one dedicated teacher and the children who put her lesson
into practice, “Learning is not just something we
do in school. It is something we do until the day we die.”
