My Voice, My Future Student Voice Webinars (Grades 6-12)
It can be particularly challenging for students to become motivated to learn when the teaching and learning process for the school year is unsettled in the midst of COVID-19. This comprehensive series of webinars for students is designed to celebrate their voices and increase engagement in learning. These webinars will help students develop the skills necessary to navigate the inevitable changes in their educational lives.
Whether students have attended the same school for years, are transitioning to a new school, or are beginning a year with online classes, the webinars are structured to engage students' voices in a thought-provoking way and help them reach their personal, social and academic potential.
