We’re still sneaking candy from our kids’ Halloween stash (is it just us?!) - but with Daylight Savings comes a look ahead to the next season of our work dedicated to ensuring that all young people are future ready.  Here are five ways you can engage with us this month and beyond, as we center youth voices in our designs and practices:
 
 
 
Check out our free resource on co-designing learning alongside young people from our Aurora Institute Symposium presentation on centering youth voices in the classroom, where we loved getting to catch up with so many of you!
 
 
You may have met our wonderful student presenter Salome Murcia Gonzalez at the Aurora Symposium, who is a member of our Youth Advisory Council along with her co-presenter Ellah Wambach. Press play to learn more about her experience straight from the source!
Read a bit about the thinking - and the youth input - behind our forthcoming Future Ready Competency framework, and the role of strategic guidance coupled with opportunities to develop independence, which was shared recently at our Aurora Symposium session.
Mark your calendar for March 2024 in Austin! We’re honored and thrilled to have been chosen as panelists at SXSW EDU, where we’ll be on the schedule asking, “Can Young People Solve the Post-Pandemic Learning Equation?”  (Someone please let our parents know that less than 12% of proposals were selected...see, Mom, we made it!)
 
Pass it on to every teacher & young adult in your networks - we're expanding our educator user feedback group AND adding on a youth version!

More youth voices, more chances to give input on our designs, more representation of different learning experiences and perspectives from 16-24 year olds that can influence our next steps!  Consider this the soft launch of our application for 2024 youth participants. Watch the intro video and be sure to check out the FAQ page!
And, if you’re a middle or high school educator who would like to participate in surveys, focus groups, and stipend-supported review opportunities of our curriculum and assessment prototypes on an opt-in, ongoing basis - please do apply to join us!
