 The Consortium takes Hear Me to districts across the region The HEAR ME project, launched last year by Carnegie Mellon University's CREATE Lab to capture the ideas and stories of youth across the region, has proven a perfect fit with many of The Consortium for Public Education's programs as well as a means of advancing an important goal: helping ensure that student voices are part of the conversation shaping education, whether to address academic performance or social and emotional learning. As a lead partner to CMU, we've been working to help districts participating in our programs find creative ways not only to weave Hear Me into classroom lessons, but also to learn what they can from students to improve their schools. For a rundown of ways that schools recently have used this compelling opportunity both to teach and learn, click Hear Me. |
