“What do our students need?” A question we often ask ourselves, but rarely ask the people who would know! To effectively address the needs of students, they must be recognized as the primary stakeholder in education. More often than not, they feel unheard. The COVID-19 crisis threatened to amplify their silence. Discover how a student voice survey exploded into a paradigm shift that recognizes students as co-creators in college and career readiness programming. Hear the voices of nearly 500 students, and leave with a blueprint to build your own student-led implementation team and a virtual safe space to effectively meet their needs from anywhere.
