Teen Student input opportunity

Post date: Mar 30, 2011 3:17:36 PM

Citizens League's Students Speak Out initiative is launching a new,

national project where teens will democratically explore whether we

should broaden the definition of student achievement if we want to

realize our goals for K-12.

We're currently seeking applications for teen commentators, who will

be paid $150 stipends to dialogue in 8-10 weekly online discussions.

We're also seeking anyone who would like to participate (teens and

adults) to join the online project, including teachers and youth

leaders who want to get teens they work with involved (we've seen

people give students civic learning and writing credit for

participation in our SSO projects-of course, mostly from schools with

EdVisions design principles!). All of the information is on the Web

site. The conversation will get rolling (officially) in April.
