In this online panel discussion, we’re joined by Katherine Schulten of The New York Times Learning Network and a group of students to explore questions about identity and belonging, discuss the power of storytelling during the process of coming of age, and provide resources for educators on deepening student voice in their classrooms. Drawing on the prompts and submissions made to the Learning Network’s “Coming of Age contest,” this lively conversation will center adolescent experiences of the last few years and help deepen educators’ understanding of how they can empower students to express their ideas, perspectives, and visions for the future.
