Advocacy work related to immigrant related issues can be difficult in this climate, but it takes students like Walnut Valley Unified’s Aditi to speak up and lead the charge to make a difference!🥺📣

In this episode of Ed Buzz, Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council members Aditi Chawla, Emilie Jang, Joy An and Allison Lopez share how they developed the award-winning Students for Students Peer Mentorship Program.

What if students had a voice in choosing their next teacher? 😳😳😳 At Barry J. Nidorf Juvenile Court School, they actually did!

When we say student voice matters, we mean it! Our students helped develop interview questions, participated in the interview process and shared their feedback as administrators made the final selection.📝👏🏽📣

Their insight helped us identify an educator who would be the right fit for their classrooms and their community.

Welcome to the BJN team, “Mr. Moose”! We’re excited to have you and are so proud of the students who helped bring you here.😊👏🏽♥️
