26 - Improve by Using Student Feedback (...

Andy Jacks
About this episode

So often we talk about the best interests of our students without actually asking them what their best interests really are! Just like adults, kids also want their voices to be heard and used for making school improvements. In this episode, school leaders Kambar Khoshaba and Casey Roberts provide specific strategies and insight into capitalizing on student feedback, but they do so with a Star Wars vs Star Trek perspective! Get ready for a lot of popular culture references! This is the way!

Topics Include:

  • Embracing the value of learning different perspectives
  • Student-led improvement processes
  • Using presences to change culture
  • A variety of real strategies like Shadow a Student, Consensograms for Rules, & Class Meetings
  • The breakdown of Kambar and Casey's Star Wars/Star Trek feud
