Haz Que Tu Voz Se Escuche (Make Your Voice Heard)

In a society based on democracy, participation, and engagement, shouldn't education be democratic, participatory, and engaging? How can young people be creative, curious, and collaborative learners when their schooling boxes them in with testing and standardization? What does a more empowering, democratic education look like?

Check out this video by IDEA - the Institute for Democratic Education in America, and visit our website to learn more and get involved: http://www.democraticeducation.org

Remember: educational change starts with all of us - young people, teachers, parents, and more.

Make your voice heard!
