Mathematica Classroom Pre-K to Grade 3 Shoots

In 2011, Seven-Minute Cinemas completed shooting classroom videos for this research project involving schools in Princeton, N.J. and Washington D.C.

Mathematica — a research company based in both of those cities — will be using videos to train classroom observers how to evaluate different aspects of teachers’ practices.

Mathematica chose Jake Elsas from Seven-Minute Cinemas — along with fellow producer Larry Franzen — after working with the two on 2009’s very successful Teach For America internal assessment.

As Mathematica Senior Staff Member Claudia Gentile wrote:

“I realize you’re located in LA, but the quality of work you achieved on the TFA video tapes was truly impressive. So, when the need arose for classroom videos, I thought of you.”
