Students and staff at BFA Fairfax have created a Youth and Adult Partnership team with the help of UP for Learning's YATST program (Youth and Adults Transforming Schools Together) to ensure student voice in the great changes that we are in the midst of throughout schools across Vermont. This past Fall, the BFA Fairfax YATST Team joined the LUHS YATST team for Design Day, which was filled with collaboration between both schools to support their teams in making progress and moving forward with their goals. Students and staff are focusing their efforts on Proficiency Based Graduation Requirements (PBGRs) and their enactment in our learners' classrooms. UP for Learning supports educational institutions across the country in fully engaging students in their own learning through a research-based model that focuses on deepening youth-adult partnerships in schools. On the cutting edge of the national movement toward student-centered education, UP for Learning provides expert coaching, facilitation and training to youth-adult teams. It offers strategies and tools for building a school community in which learning is engaging for everyone and youth are fully empowered. Based in Vermont, UP for Learning also conducts policy advocacy to elevate student voice in learning and decision-making on a state level and supports schools in fully embracing student voice and youth-adult partnership as central to their school culture.
