In this episode Dustin and Ghazali talk with Cecilia Alcaraz about the overarching question: How can educators empower students and involve them in decision-making processes? We focus on why it's important and how to give students voice and agency both in their classroom and school community. Cecilia is a Dean of Students at a high school in Chicago and has spent the bulk of her career in education supporting students and building strong culture in partnership with them.
