Finding Youth in Democracy

What do home, school, friends’ houses, after school programs, work, the Internet, gaming, government programs, and social media all have in common? They are all places where youth can experience democracy!

Children’s Right to Vote Matters

Almost all adults are harming almost all children right now. This happens inadvertently and directly; coincidentally and intentionally; by design and on accident. And it happens in many ways, including actions that are personal, structural, and social in their orientation. Our abuse ranges from casual personal offenses that range from slights of language to dehumanizing cultural alienation; structural bias from architectural discrimination to laws without political representation; and social harm including de-centering schooling biases and demeaning child-adult interactions.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CtIpPLtOI73/ Just another ball fanatic, doing his ball thing. “Ball?” It's striking to me how often we mistake people doing the things we want them to for engagement. I want to foster authentic engagement driven by real interest and desire that's reflected in repeated and sustained choices, instead of measuring people being time-on-task, their stroke gestures, or simple task accomplishment outcomes. Maybe that's just me though. I’m fascinated by how the world is catching up to this idea, but using new language. We STILL need #youthadultpartnerships though. Learn about them at the link in my bio. #youthwork #youthservices #youthprograms #organizationalconsulting #linkinbio You know, just hanging out in the mountains with some regrowing burned up forests. Apparently this is a thing I do… #pnwlife #forestfire AWESOME! Check out the first-ever academic review of my book STUDENT VOICE REVOLUTION at the link in my bio. What an honor! #soundoutorg #meaningfulstudentinvolvement #studentvoice #educationtransformation #bookreview #linkinbio
