Rise: Voice of a New Generation
As I sat in the sold-out Egyptian Theater with approximately 800 attendees, the film, by my assessment and review, exceeded Long’s initial mission of capturing the why, how and inspiration connected to the “power of student voice.”

At ‘Rise’ Documentary Screening, One Stone Teens Talk Student-Led Education
“It’s not often that Boise’s Egyptian Theatre fills to the brim with middle- and high school-aged kids for a film screening, especially when that film is a documentary.”

Rising to the challenge
“From what I’ve seen, the ‘secret sauce’ is that their board truly gives kids a voice. Two board members, Elise Malterre and Chloe French, have seen first hand how student voice has helped shape the direction of One Stone.”

GET INVOLVED
Find out how you can create impact to empower a movement, starting in your own community.
We are looking for students to organize events, where they can create a platform to express ideas and discussion about what student voice looks like in their own schools and communities. And we’re look for mentors, businesses and caring citizens to support these events.
Resources
Building on the themes and ideas presented in Rise: Voice of a New Generation, we will continue to follow the One Stone journey and shine a light on people and initiatives that are changing the landscape of education by bringing youth to the forefront of the design of their learning.

Contribution: Schools Alive with Possibility
What if, instead of shuffling from one disconnected course to another, high school was an invitation to contribution–a chance for each young person to figure out what they care about, what they’re good at, and how and where they want to make a difference?

THE AGE OF AGILITY
Unfortunately, our education system is behind the curve in preparing students for the new Age of Agility. One Stone is the rare exception in a national public education landscape that in many instances remains deeply mired in outdated practices.
