Episode: 320
- Meet Jeanise Dimitri. She has spent 18 years at Middle Bucks Institute of Technology, and today she’s sharing how a student influencer initiative became one of the most exciting and impactful projects of her career.
- You’ll hear how Jeanise went from struggling to gather content from staff to receiving more than 70 student applications for a program designed to help tell authentic stories from inside the classroom.
- Jeanise breaks down the structure behind the initiative, including student applications, interviews, training, Google Classroom communication, and the four ways students can contribute through social media, tours, presentations, and events.
- This episode will inspire you to think differently about student-created content, staff buy-in, and the power of trusting students to help showcase the real learning happening in your schools.
