🎙️ Introducing: Between Classrooms
🎙️ Introducing: Between Classrooms
Between Classrooms is a podcast by students, for students. Led by the Lane ESD Student Voice Design Team, it’s a space where we talk about what really matters to us—identity, belonging, mental health, community—and imagine the schools we all deserve.
Come join the conversation on the Between Classrooms YouTube channel.
Our hope is that each episode lifts up student stories, sparks dialogue, and helps build stronger connections between classrooms and communities.
To go deeper, every episode comes with a guide that shares an overview, key themes, and discussion prompts. These guides are designed to support reflection, conversation, and action—whether you’re listening on your own, in a classroom, or with colleagues and community partners. They’re a way to center student perspectives and inspire real, meaningful change.
