SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PROCESS No Child Left Behind calls for a plethora of partners to come to the table - except students. However, a growing number of schools, districts, and even state education agencies are taking up where the Feds left off. This program provides a clear process for educators to work with students in order to integrate student voice throughout their school improvement planning.
