\nThe Youth Leadership Institute (YLI) is a convening of youth leaders, youth organizers, adult allies, and educators from across New England whose shared vision of education equity is grounded in a model that places students at the center of their own learning. YLI attendees come together annually to build understanding and support for youth organizing around education justice, develop relationships, share learning, and plan for youth organizing work in the upcoming school year.1 Since 2013, YLI has engaged over 1,200 participants from rural, small town, and urban sites with socioeconomic and racial diversity.  \nThe 4 key tenets of Student-Centered Learning (SCL)  \nLearning is Personalized: Students learn indifferent ways. Individually paced, targeted learning tasks start from where the student is, formatively assess existing skills and knowledge, and address student needs and interests.  \nLearning is Competency-Based: Students move ahead when they have demonstrated mastery of content, not when they’ve reached a certain birthday or endured the required hours in a classroom.  \nLearning Happens Anytime, Anywhere: Learning takes place beyond the traditional school day or school year. The school’s walls are permeable; learning is not restricted to the classroom.  \nStudents Take Ownership of Their Learning:  \nLearning engages students in their own success and incorporates their interests and skills into the learning process. Students support each other’s progress and celebrate success.  \nYOUTH LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE EVALUATION REPORT  \nCelebrating more than five years of engagement, The Nellie Mae Education Foundation (NMEF) commissioned a study to examine whether, how, and to what extent YLI has elevated and amplified youth leadership within organizations, and across schools and districts in New England. This brief also relays NMEF’s evolution, as they sought to balance strategic foundation goals with their strong commitment to learning alongside youth and community members. It is a story of deepening trust and care for communities that have been marginalized and that want to advance justice and equity. This analysis reflects NMEF’s culture of ongoing learning and reflection that continues to propel them along a journey toward authentic partnerships and responsive philanthropy.  \nFunders who receive honest feedback and share the results of that feedback pursue smarter strategies, make better grants, and build stronger relationships.2  \nThe objective of this report is to share key lessons and ignite new conversations about building power, sharing power, and wielding power-practices shown to benefit funders who value community engagement and want deeper partnerships, as well as those who value community-centered solutionsand want greater impact.2 The National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy reports that: “To make the world a better place, communities need to build power; funders need to share their power with these communities; and they both need to wield their power to influence relevant audiences and decision-makers.”  \nEVALUATION APPROACH  \nIn 2019, Algorhythm was comm","cbCaigv6Kb5KglLo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigv6Kb5KglLo","pdf",9503138,24,"English","# Introduction\n## Evaluation Approach\n## Key Findings\n## The Impact of Youth Leadership Institute\n## Conclusions and Lessons\n## A Note From the Nellie Mae Education Foundation\n## Endnotes","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Youth Leadership Institute evaluation report?\",\"answer\":\"The report shares key lessons and discusses how YLI elevated and amplified youth leadership across organizations, schools, and districts in New England.\"},{\"question\":\"What evaluation approach was used to study YLI?\",\"answer\":\"Algorhythm served as a third-party evaluator, using participatory stakeholder engagement and multi-method data collection, including interviews and a document review.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the four tenets of Student-Centered Learning described in the report?\",\"answer\":\"Learning is personalized, competency-based, happens anytime and anywhere, and students take ownership of their learning.\"}]","Youth Leadership Institute - Evaluation Report | PDF",1792055030]
