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.
