About the Class

Mission: Fix boring schools, not kids who are bored. Are we really harnessing the potential of all our children? Are they going to be fit for the future? What matters most? Knowledge or skills?

Education is changing and we all know that one way to effect change is from within by those who have most at stake. Students.

We want to empower students to lead change from within their school. What elements would a student advocacy toolkit have? What would it look like?
PLEASE NOTE:

In the meantime TEACHERS please ask your students. We need their voice here. Students and teachers, you can leave you ideas, comments here: http://reinventingschool.ideascale.com/
and we'll discuss them during the class.

This is an open brainstorm/conversation to assist us to design the student advocacy tool kit which will be used as part of a global Design Thinking Challenge in September 2011.

Everyone is welcome to join in.
