Seek Common Ground (SCG) Program Analyst and Research Coordinator Lydia Burns sat down with members of SCG's Student Action Network for Equity to talk about how students are organizing against classroom censorship and for educational equity. Panelists included high school junior, Mira Ugwuadu (Wheeler Name Change), high school senior, Tala Saad (Kentucky Student Voice Team), and University of Georgia sophomore, Julian Fortuna (Georgia Youth Justice Coalition).
This video introduces K-12 Family Guides, created by Seek Common Ground in collaboration with experts at Student Achievement Partners, to help families--and those that support families-- understand more about what students should know and be able to do by the end of each grade in literacy and math. This information, and tips and strategies for engaging kids and working in partnership with teachers, is especially important now as families support their children during the Covid-19 pandemic.
