SoundOut seeks to engage every student in every school as a learner and leader throughout education.

 

About SoundOut

SoundOut works intensively throughout the education system to promote meaningful student involvement in school improvement. Our activities promote student voice in school as students and educators realize the powerful and purposeful possibilities of meaningful student involvement.

 

Who We Are

Program Description

All of SoundOut's activities are based on Adam Fletcher's Frameworks for Meaningful Student Involvement. We offer a variety of activities based on those Frameworks, as well as a classroom curriculum for middle and high school students.

Professional Development for Educators
Our professional development programs are designed for classroom educators, support staff, building leaders, district and state administrators. We model meaningful student involvement, provide practical examples and focus on research-driven outcomes in each of our sessions. Customized training is available, including sessions addressing specific skills, applications or populations. We also provide ongoing consultation and technical assistance programs, as well as evaluation services focused on meaningful student involvement.

 

Training for Students

All of our sessions with students are customized, hands-on, and action-centered, encouraging students to move from apathy to action to change schools. We facilitate workshops, presentations and other sessions in classrooms, school-wide events, and at district activities, as well as state, regional, and national conferences.

 

SoundOut In Schools

Using our research-driven curriculum, SoundOut staff provide classroom-based learning activities focused on teaching students about learning, the education system, school reform and student voice, including powerful ways students can partner with adults to change schools.

 

Special Activities

We design customized projects for a variety of students in a number of settings. Contact us for more information.
