2 Million Minutes Recommends

Resources for Politicians, Community Leaders and Policy Makers

The American Student Achievement Institute has used Two Million Minutes to raise awareness and engage more than 100 communities in Indiana in open forums about why and how the standards of education in America needs to be raised to world standards.

Using the film as the rallying point, ASAI staff brings together teachers and students, along with representatives of parent groups, businesses, and community organizations to workshops designed to mobilize energy and action plans for raising academic achievement. The Institute provides at no charge, a complete set of materials coordinated with the messages contained in Two Million Minutes. Those materials may be accessed HERE.
