Student Council: Organizing for School, Local and State Success

vendredi 11 novembre 2016 à 09:15–10:00 MST
Fiesta 4 (24)
Session Abstract

Student leadership in the form of a student council gives students the power and voice needed to advocate for and meet student needs, organize to respond to crises, and contribute to the larger functioning of an Adult School, the larger community and the Adult Education system.

Target Audience

Adult Education students, teachers, staff and administrators, as well as state agency staff and elected officials, can all benefit from this workshop. Both immigrant and US-born communities have a stake in student voice – and both communities can benefit from this workshop.

Session Description

Having weathered the crisis in funding for Public Education, we want to share what we’ve learned with school communities in other states who are facing what we survived.

A student team will explain the how the Student Council at San Mateo Adult School is organized. They will detail the strategies, and support that are necessary to an effective Student Council and the goals and benefits of student leadership. They will explain how to create and maintain open communication to address students` needs as well as how the student leadership helps support the adult school.
This active, informed engaged student body is prepared to organize and act on their own behalf in times of crises (including the Adult Education funding crises) and advocate for all students.
