NORTH DALLAS HIGH SCHOOL
TIMES TEN STUDENT ADVOCACY INITIATIVE
Student Advocacy is a North Dallas HS initiative which addresses the need of every student to have an adult mentor and advocate while in school. An advocate is a supporter, backer, applauder, promoter, cheerleader, encourager, proponent, and a champion of student's well-being. Each teacher/staff has at least ten students in his/her student advocacy group. Hence, the name of the initiative is TIMES TEN!The goal of Student Advocacy Times Ten is to help students navigate through high school by infusing lessons and discussions on social and emotional learning, character education, and college and career readiness.R E S O U R C E SAvailable Videos:Boys in Peril - If you want to borrow this video, please see Mr. Gordon Markley in Room NC316.Filmmaker Graham Streeter embeds himself in East Los Angeles, where he befriends Julio, Edgar, and Abel: three Latino high school seniors; each attempting to navigate through the daunting transition between high school and college in their own unique ways.Pressing issues in education today are explored through the eyes of a diverse array of Latino and Latina adolescents from across the United States, offering first-hand perspectives on key challenges facing both the students and their families, as well as educators and community leadersSocial Emotional-Character Education Resource ListCenter for Social and Emotional Education (CSEE)
