I just watched XQ Institute 's "The First Class" documentary and Le'Cedric's redemption story hit home for me. His journey from struggle to success reminded me of my own path on the South Side of Chicago. This film is a powerful reminder that every student has potential, no matter their background. Let's keep uplifting our students! Check out the full film at https://lnkd.in/gxuPCtqp for more insights! #TheFirstClassDoc #ReThinkHighSchool #Ad

Even before the pandemic, most teens spent their days in school “tired,” “stressed,” and “bored.” Fewer than 3 out of 100 students reported feeling interested while in school. XQ’s Design Principles offer a data-driven approach to transforming high schools. By prioritizing student well-being, fostering strong relationships, and creating relevant learning experiences, we can empower students to thrive. Four students share how their XQ schools created an environment of belonging that made them want to attend school every day.
