Beyond the Blackboard

Based on a true event, "Beyond the Blackboard" is about a 24-year-old first-time teacher who makes a difference in the lives of the homeless children she teaches in a makeshift classroom in a shelter where she is staying with her boyfriend. This film, which takes place in 1987 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, tells the story of a brand-new teacher and mother who is assigned to a more difficult than expected teaching job and ends up teaching homeless children in a school that is literally housed in a room and known as The School with No Name. She has certain personal obstacles to overcome before she can be a true teacher for these youngsters, and there are also practical obstacles to overcome, such as a shortage of resources in the form of books and supplies.
