Clip Context

  • “Partnering with Youth in Educational Research and Practice,” a graduate course at the Harvard Graduate School of Education with 23 students enrolled. 
  • This course builds on Brion-Meisels’ research on school climate, school reform partnerships between students and adults, and Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR). She engages students in a variety of structured, active discussions to foster an environment in which everyone is both a learner and a teacher.
  • This clip comes about 90 minutes into the 3 hour, 10 minute class session as Brion-Meisels directs students into small discussion groups and then engages with these groups.
