Greetings!
BSAC has moved beyond the East Coast and into the Midwest! On March 27, 2012 representatives from the Boston Student Advisory Council were invited to fly to Chicago, IL to participate in a press conference facilitated by VOYCE (Voices of Youth in Chicago Education), a youth organizing collaborative for education justice led by students of Chicago Public Schools.
After a brief tour of the Windy City, BSAC students presented on the history of their Teacher Evaluation campaign. They spoke about the success BSAC has had not only implementing constructive feedback in Boston Public Schools, but also incorporating student voice in teacher evaluations at the state level. We are very grateful to the organizations in Chicago to have given us this opportunity and look forward to seeing their own teacher evaluation campaign move forward!
Dan Chu, Carlos Rojas, Heaven Reda, & Sofia Snow
