Students launch Student Voices microsite in partnership with State Board of Education

According to a press release from the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE), “The Student Advisory Council (SAC), which provides feedback and insights to the ISBE, launched a new Student Voices microsite at www.isbe.net/studentvoices to create space for students statewide to ask and answer questions about preparing for their futures.”

The microsite links to resources such as the Illinois Reality Check personal budgeting application, the Illinois Student Assistance Commission’s guide on paying for college, the Illinois PaCE: Postsecondary and Career Expectations framework and ISBE’s resources for dealing with health topics such as bullying. It also provides opportunities for students to share information and experiences with one another through questions, answers, photos and quotes.

The microsite originated from the SAC’s yearlong project on college and career preparation, which they recently presented to the State Board. To read the full article, go to https://tinyurl.com/yce9tadx.
