“It is not enough to simply listen to student voice. Educators have an ethical imperative to do something with students, and that is why meaningful student involvement is vital to school improvement.”

Adam Fletcher

WELCOME to #USQ19!

We couldn’t be more thrilled to have such thoughtful learners sharing The USQ Experience! USQ unhinges the status quo by bringing students and educators together to share, learn and grow as design partners for teaching, learning and leading.  Learners at all levels find themselves immersed in powerful discussions and design sessions centered around practices that promote true student agency and well-being, in relevant and sustainable ways.
