The 2021-22 academic year marked the 50th anniversary of Colorado College\u2019s Block Plan, which was first introduced during the 1970-71 academic year. To celebrate 50 years of the Block Plan, CC filmmakers created a documentary<\/a> to reflect on the college\u2019s \u201cradical idea that students learned more effectively when they took one \u2014 and only one \u2014 class at a time.\u201d The film looks back on the past and founding of the Block Plan, as well as its present, what it has become, and what it means to the faculty, students, and staff who live it every day. The film can now add \u201cbest in show\u201d to its resume, after being selected as Best Film at Helsinki Education Film Festival International 2022.<\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea of making a documentary about the Block Plan, of trying to tell the story of how the college arrived at the idea and adopted it in the fall of 1970, as well as the way it exists today as a lived reality for the faculty, staff, and students at CC, came about a few years ago, just as we were approaching the plan’s 50th anniversary,\u201d says Steve Hayward, filmmaker and professor of English at CC, who co-directed the film with Bryan Beasley and attended the film\u2019s screening at the festival.<\/div>\n
