Gallup’s innovative teaching idea, “Student Voices Podcast,” focuses on unearthing powerful stories from each and every student at Ocoee High School. Students involved in the project will become familiar with all technical aspects of production and publicize the final content in hopes of unveiling universal truths about humanity. Through podcasting, students will not only have a means to create and communicate their story, but will also learn about narrative structures, biography, and overarching themes aligned with state curriculum standards. With the support of the Voya grant, Gallup hopes the student podcasts will serve as an instrument to connect, inspire, and ultimately empower fellow students and community members.
