How do you make room for different perspectives?

Last night at Speak Truth, students explored real-life and classroom scenarios, sharing their perspectives on how they would navigate moments of conflict. Through open conversation, they practiced thinking critically, considering different viewpoints, and reflecting on how their choices can shape the outcome.

When students have the space to speak, listen, and learn from one another, they build skills that extend far beyond the classroom.

Can one song speak for a generation? 🎵

We took Hooray For Monday – live – inside a Speak Truth session where students explored music, identity, and the songs that travel across generations. Brady Maiden and Jenna Fournel reflect on what educators can learn when they listen closely to young people.

The conversation happened after school, but its lessons belong in the school day, too. Listen wherever you get your podcasts. [Link]

Young people don’t need help finding their voices. They need safe spaces where they can speak and practice listening to others.

In this week’s Hooray for Monday, our own Brady Maiden takes us inside Center for Inspired Teaching’s Speak Truth program. She shares how high school students challenge themselves and one another through conversations about topics including gentrification, gun violence, college admissions, data centers, and climate change.

Speak Truth students aren’t passive participants. They create and lead each session and learn from each other along the way.

The hype is real… but is the food? 👀

We kicked off our first Speak Truth session of the year by diving into the internet’s wildest food trends. The verdict? Never try a new food trend without a friend to laugh with.

At the end of the day, Speak Truth isn’t just about hot takes. It’s about connection, curiosity, and creating space for students to share their perspectives.

Join us for Speak Truth discussions this fall!

What’s one food trend you want to try? Comment below! 👇
