Episode 15: Student-Centered Learning
Join two of our HS student interns, Hunter Kuchenbaur and Xan Maddock-Mark at Barrington RI High School, talk with Sanjli Gidwaney, Director of Design for Change USA, and two amazing youth, Minnah from Raleigh NC and Daniel from NYC, about how Design for Change has created an opportunity for them to make a real difference in the world – and in doing so, come to feel empowered as change agents and learners in the world. Minnah talks about her projects with Syrian Refugees and the remembrance of George Taylor while Daniel explains Suds 4 Society. Sanjli, Minnah, Daniel, and student interns, Hunter and Xan share how THEY would design their K-12 school. All say MORE authentic, personal connections to and work in real-world so that they can “discover themselves,” "explore what they can do," and “find the things that they love.” Our two wonderful student interns share their thoughts on the need to transform education for student agency and possibility. And Chris, as usual, shares his.
