What matters to young people?
When I think about what young people need from schools to be successful I think about how I want them to feel as their future selves. I want students to feel like they are the captains of their own ships and that destiny is a destination that they are fully capable of reaching. But does this matter to young people?
The following are questions posed during a breakout session at The Carnegie Summit on Improvement in Education entitled "Improving What Matters to Young People":
1. What is the difference between working WITH and TO students?
2. How do we better understand the ASSETS and EXPERTISE of students?
3. To what extent did you NEED your schools to improve in order to TO THRIVE in your life?
4. How might we go beyond student panels and empathy interviews?
5. What is the role of relationships in networked communities of practice?
