Welcome to SchYPAR
SchYPAR is a resource to help educators and students do youth participatory action research (YPAR) in schools. YPAR is an innovative, engaging, and authentic learning strategy that empowers students to be leaders, knowledge creators, and changemakers in their schools and communities.
Resources
Through years of co-design work with teachers, students, and school communities, SchYPAR has created a library of resources for doing YPAR in schools. These range from academic standards crosswalks, case examples, and lesson plans and activities.
Action Team
Our SchYPAR Action Team of innovative high school educators is leading the way in exploring how YPAR can be used in schools to make learning more engaging, authentic, and supportive of school improvement. Join our Action Team!
