Using technology to raise the achievement of ALL students is a guiding principle of the work we are doing this year in the ABPC 21st Century Learners project. The goal of this initiative is increased achievement and success for all students through the use of inquiry- based lessons with 21st Century skills delivery. One way we plan to achieve this goal is through the development of Student Advisory Teams.

How will this be done?
Specifically, the project will create a new "powerful conversation” stream that will elevate student voice and build strong and positive relationships between school teams and student leaders.

Each team will choose a student leader to be part of their 21st Century team at the school.

//We suggest you look for students who//: (1) show an intuitive understanding of classroom lesson plan objectives and consistently find creative means for demonstrating mastery; (2) are good at completing tasks; (3) have exhibited leadership and teamwork skills; (4) are known as “idea generators.”

We hold three archived Elluminate sessions (1 hour each) that will cover 30 minutes of 21st Century content and 30 minutes of focus group discussion. These sessions will be attended by the student advisor and a team member sponsor.

//**The dates for the student advisory meetings are as follows:**//

Session 1: January 29, 2008 – (3:45- 4:45) Session 2: February 12, 2008 – (3:45- 4:45) Session 3: March 12, 2008 – (3:45- 4:45)
