The Student Engagement Project

It is the goal of the National Urban Alliance (NUA)  ‘student engagement’ project with Paul Harding High School students to make legible the life of the school through careful observation, reflection, and documentation. The students (and teachers) will develop a regular practice of reflection that supports the students, the faculty and the school community. The documentation will capture and share the essence of the school through the use of video, panels throughout the school, booklets, comic book strips, street theater, presentation software, and field notes to influence understanding and choices. Most importantly the documentation is a part of the dialogue with and between students, teachers, parents, outside support (e.g. National Urban Alliance), and the school community.
