Schools identified as needing improvement must begin to try new things. In this session, learn how schools are using a powerful student leadership strategy: inviting to the table as leadership experts and partners a broad array of students who have previously failed to thrive and learn at school. Join student leaders as they present their leadership and data collection process and share evidence of its effectiveness in improving school climate. Handouts will outline strategies they are using to turn a school with a history of failure into a beacon of hope for struggling schools.
