The Students

Student Voice and Feedback

We are hosting Student Listening Sessions where you can provide your voice and feedback in credentialing learning that occurs outside of the classroom. We want to hear your ideas on how and if we should design a more meaningful system that takes all learning into account – not just what happens in the traditional classroom.


Please share your ideas on how students’ passions, interests, and choices can/should be more incorporated in students' day-to-day educational experiences.


We want to listen to your ideas and feedback on how students can be more in the driver’s seat of their own learning and educational journey.
