Student Leadership
Shaping a Better Future
Young people today live in a rapidly changing world that faces multiple challenges, from geopolitical conflict and social injustice to economic insecurity to the climate crisis. In order to take these challenges on, the education young people need goes far beyond the academic curricula that education systems around the world have been oriented around for decades.
Students in classrooms today—particularly those from marginalized and under-resourced communities—need to develop the skills and mindsets that will enable them to navigate uncertainty and solve the complex problems they’ve inherited.
Developing Students as Leaders
Teach For All network partners understand the important role educators play in developing student leadership. Their teachers support students to both achieve academic success and become critical thinkers and agents of change in their own lives and communities.
Students Leading Today
Around the world, inspiring young people are standing up and making their voices heard—and we’re listening.
Student Outcomes Research
Research from across the Teach For All network investigates network partners' impact in developing teachers who advance student learning alongside important non-academic outcomes. Evidence from studies in a number of countries demonstrates that students taught by network teachers gain the equivalent of 2-5 additional months learning progress in foundational literacy and math compared to students taught by non-network teachers, while other studies are pioneering research on how to best improve and measure student social and emotional learning outcomes.
