Educators will learn how they can call upon and invite diverse teams of students to serve as school climate experts, researchers and advocates and work with them to identify and solve complex problems and overcome barriers to providing a quality education to all students.

In each session, we will explore how to improve schools for everyone by working collaboratively with students using a set of activity-based, action-oriented exercises and protocols, and sharing model action projects that have been used successfully in other schools. Everyone will leave with a personal plan of action and YPAR Tool Kit they can use for leading and sustaining school climate improvement to ensure that all students thrive.

To synthesize research on quality education as a civil right (QECR), personalized learning, democratic school leadership and improving school climate, culture and learning as a call to taking effective action. 3.
