Educators’ Guide

“What’s your ‘secret’ to teen engagement?” 

 Visitors to VOX ATL have been asking for ideas to increase youth voice and engagement in their classes and programs.
 

We have always brought self-expression workshops to teens in partnership with schools and organizations, and recently we’ve been offering trainings for staff of youth-development organizations as well. 

Now, we can do even more by sharing interactive, “VOXy” learning activities for use wherever teens are meeting and learning with free, teacher-created Lesson Guides

Each VOX ATL Lesson Guide* is full of hands-on activities that use teens’ published content for exploring critical issues and developing skills aligned with Georgia’s Department of Education Standards of Excellence and Afterschool & Youth Development Quality Standards

Our Guide was co-created by educators from GSU’s College of Education & Human Development MACIE program, using VOX ATL’s highly interactive program model and commitment to authentic youth voice. 

Thank you for being our partner as Guides on the Side with teens!
