So true! Student voice must be an integral part of all decision-making in education.
When we actively engage students on school boards, we tap into a wealth of unique insights, fresh perspectives, and innovative ideas that have the potential to transform the educational landscape. I'm inspired by these young people and the work of the National Student Board Member Association.

The new school year is just around the corner at Buena Vista SDA School (bvsda.org and www.fb.com/bvsdaschool) and principal Dave Morgan has a thought to share. "It's an easy question to ask, most times easier to answer, "Who was your favorite teacher and why?" Today I want to ask you, "Have you ever told that teacher about the difference they made in your life?" See the whole blog at https://lnkd.in/geVVR7KS

Had a great time this morning discussing the results of our research study on adult learners who left (and some who returned) to Shasta College and College of Continuing Education (CCE) at Sacramento State with Project Attain and California Competes. We were hosted by Dakota Pawlicki, Director of CivicLab. Always happy to talk with folks who are trying to make higher education more accessible and doable for adult learners!
In EEX3226: Assessment of All Young Children, we hosted a lively "Mock School Board Meeting." During this exercise, students debated the pros and cons of high-stakes assessments. Each participant assumed a persona—such as a teacher, parent, school board member, or professor—and was assigned a position to defend. They conducted research to understand their assigned character's perspective and developed key arguments to support their stance. One by one, they presented their cases in the simulated school board meeting, culminating in a debriefing session where we discussed the insights gained and reflected on the experience. To add more depth: This activity not only helped students grasp the complexities of high-stakes assessments but also fostered empathy by encouraging them to see issues from various viewpoints. It honed their research and public speaking skills while promoting critical thinking and collaborative learning. The debrief allowed us to tie theoretical concepts to practical applications, solidifying our understanding and appreciation of diverse educational perspectives.
