Frameworks for Meaningful Student Involvement

What are the essential tools learners, teachers and leaders need in order to meaningfully involve students?

Following are the Frameworks for Meaningful Student Involvement. This is a series of essential tips, outlines, rubrics and other devices meant to explore the depth, breadth and purpose of engaging students as partners in school change. First written by Adam Fletcher in 2003, for the 2007-2008 school year we have expanded and elaborated these different pieces in order to provide accessible tools for all users.
