Jamie Benson
I knew before we started this Challenge 20/20 work that anyone could make change in the world, but I had fallen into the rut of “Oh, someone else is already established there, I can’t do more than they are, I’m only one person.”  It has surprised me how much of an effect simply putting yourself out there can have!

Jack Clain
This is by far the most engaging class I have ever been in.  I have learned so much this semester in terms of working with others and presenting information. Through Challenge 20/20 I was given the chance to understand the hardships others face every day and truly see the bigger picture about 3rd World countries and all of the simple things I take for granted.

Frameworks for Meaningful Student Involvement

Frameworks for Meaningful Student Involvement | 21st Century Classrooms | Scoop.it

Educators and students hear student voice everyday. Defined as, "the distinct ideas, opinions, attitudes, knowledge, and actions of young people as they express themselves regarding schools," student voice happens when groups of students collect in the hallway after class to talk bad about teachers, when impassioned students go to the school board meeting to demand funding for new textbooks, and when students regularly throw away kiwi fruit in the cafeteria. However, most students and adults would agree that those frequently are not meaningful experiences.
