By Jeovanne Finch-Negron Is there another way to include scholars' interests into our education system? There is a group of students that want to take on a leadership role at East High School to start classes that are student-led and about topics that the students feel are important. These classes can give the students an opportunity to use their voice that they have to start not just a club but a class that can benefit the creative minds of the students. The students being able to come together as a group to talk, learn and teach a topic they feel passionate about will teach the groups how to problem solve, think critically and learn to be their own individual. This program can actually tie into the TLI program for the people that want to take a step forward to make a class that is more structured and to get the feel of how it is like to become a leading teacher of a class based on the topic they choose. The student-led classes are a great way to let the minds of the students show through their personal interest in a class that they have created. The classes can be offered during the half days so that students learn skills that can help them in their everyday life. For the students to have the ability to create a class for the half days there will be a straight line of contact to Mr. Hart the main leader and organizer of the half day. There is a high creative demand for this to happen while also there being massive potential for this concept to thrive within the walls of East Upper High School for the many years to come for the students.

I agree completely. Electives are a great way to encourage scholar voice and input
