Powerful practices like community roundtable discussions are a great way to amplify student voices and foster stronger Student-Adult partnerships. Tune in to see how the Student Voice Leadership Summit empowered our future leaders of tomorrow.

Younger voters cast a greater number of ballots in Chicago's runoff election compared to the February municipal.
Meanwhile, the three oldest age groups (55-64, 65-74 & 75+) all saw lower turnout.

Join the #DemocracySchools 9/8 for a FREE and webinar with @VanCerny about how #studentvoice can impact school climate & academic success #sschat #icivicsednet @DuPageROE @iarssil @EADRoadmap @Ed4Democracy @NCSSNetwork @CPSCivicLife @CivicYouth Register at bit.ly/StuVoice360
ALT A long tradition of research suggests that giving students more opportunities to inform and participate in decision-making in their own classrooms and schools builds their civic skills and attitudes. Thus, giving students a voice in school governance is a promising way to encourage all young people to engage civically -Guardians of Democracy report, pg.33. Join the Chicago Public Schools Department of Student Voice and Engagement to learn how you can embrace a “360” approach to student voice in schools that not only impacts classroom instruction but schoolwide culture, climate, and engagement with the greater community. Students are welcome to attend this session with their teacher/sponsor.
