How can we engage and cultivate students to become equity agents when many school efforts to increase equity treat them as subjects of improvement efforts designed and implemented by the adults? This month's topic was a 1.5 hour interactive discussion on how we can systematically include students as partners with adults in equity improvement work. The session highlights how powerful those disruptions can be – and the challenges of sustaining them – by bringing together the voices and experiences of high school students along with teachers and administrators who are working with them. Our guests inlcuded faculty and students of West High School of Iowa City, Iowa and The High School of Fashion Industries of New York, New York.
