RSVP: Raising Student Voice and Participation
August 6, 2008 by Carol Waters
The E Board initiated the Raising Student Voice and Participation program at the Fall 2007 Leadership Conference at East High School. AASG Executive Board has offered the training at every conference since 2007, and over 800 students have been trained in RSVP. School-wide summits conducted by students lie at the heart of RSVP. The summits involve all students in the school. The summits start with asking what is going well in the school. Then the students share what needs to be better in their school, and they develop action plans with the help of the Leadership Team. The Leadership Team is comprised of students who serve as facilitators and coordinators of the process. EBoard leaders Matt Cook and Megan Waggoner lead the first RSVP workshop and trained other Executive Board members.
