Youth/Adult Learning Communities

Mitra delves into this issue again with the article Collaborating with Students: Building Youth-Adult Partnerships in Schools.  The article examines how youth-adult partnerships can help improve understanding of school-based collaborations and examines contexts that enable Y-AP in schools including: fostering trust and respect among group members, creating meaningful (not equal) roles, building the capacity for youth and adults to successfully fulfill their roles, and establishing a group size that is not too small and not too large.
