Do You Hear Us? Amplifying Alternative Pathways for High School Pushouts Through Youth Participatory Action Research
… school pushout and the STPP has been to develop Alternative Education Campuses (AECs). However, there is a current gap in the research that amplifies the counter narratives of students currently enrolled at an AEC, through their own words, using Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR). Studies …
