Youth Development in Education Reform
Caring and Trusting Relationships with Adults and Young People (Personalization in Education)
Young people who have strong and sustained relationships with caring adults and other youths have higher educational and career aspirations.
High Expectations
High student performance is associated with an emphasis on academic success, problem-solving, and high standards of behavior, in combination with caring relationships.
Youth Participation: Making a Difference to Others
Strong schools provide students with opportunities to contribute their ideas and actions to help shape their classrooms and schools and to contribute to their communities.
Designing Effective Learning Experiences In and Outside the Classroom
Students are engaged and perform better if they are involved in learning experiences that present them with real options and choices; combine emotional, sensory and intellectual involvement; have clear goals and rules; allow them to take on diverse roles and use different strengths; allow time for self-reflection; and provide feedback specific to the work they complete.
Opportunities to Learn New Skills and Knowledge in Authentic Projects
Experiences such as classroom-based team projects and other structured activities that require collaboration with others and allow students to reflect on these experiences, help prepare young people to work with others, communicate clearly, and solve problems similar to those they will encounter in higher education and the workplace.
