This pamphlet provides youth with the opportunity to articulate their experiences and perspectives of their schools as particular kinds of learning places.The activities presented here enable youth to understand how a school can be a place with unique meanings – like “home,” to understand how a place can have different meanings for different people, to identify strengths of a school as a place to learn, to identify opportunities for improving a school as a place to learn, and to communicate collective perspectives and experiences

Using case studies from Oakland, California, and Lane County, Oregon, we demonstrate how participatory processes to develop formative indicators can legitimize local stories as valid sources of knowledge, facilitate community problem-solving, and translate community concerns into pathways for change. We conclude that these practices have the potential to facilitate more meaningful engagement with residents of marginalized communities and promote community empowerment.
