MSA specializes in engaging diverse teams of student leaders as research and leadership partners for improving schools. Through the SafeMeasures Process, these student leaders take on the essential role of inspiring their peers to engage in school climate data collection and school improvement efforts. These student leaders lead the process of administering school climate surveys to students, faculty and parent, then work with adults to analyze the data and create action plans and improvement projects. We have seen student leaders design meaningful and creative projects that have revitalized the relationships between peers as well as students and adults within their school. The adult leaders we work with tell us that their student leaders are vital partners in their school improvement work.

MSA helps schools recruit and train student leaders to take on these important roles. We offer a variety of customized training programs for student leaders, including:

● Summer Institutes for students and teachers
● Full-day Student Leadership Summits
● Diversity and Equity Training Workshops
● Workshops on School-based Prejudice and Discrimination
● The Change Game: A Two Year School Reform Simulation Game (1/2 day)
● Interactive Student Leadership Webinars
● Leadership Simulations
