SRL is thankful for you

December 2021 - Monthly Newsletter

In the wake of this week’s tragedy in Michigan, we at SRL are thinking of you, our communities who’ve been impacted by gun violence, with love and support. We can’t say enough about how grateful we are for educators who guide and inspire, and students who persevere and use media to shed light and compassion in these moments.

Founder’s Note: A Quantum Leap

November 2021 - Founder's Note

I don’t have a formal bucket list, but there’s definitely a running list of things I want to do in life and work, and StoryMaker has been at the top for a while now.

Our new digital platform for teachers and students is a major evolutionary step that we’ve been moving towards for years, really since Student Reporting Labs was born over a decade ago.

It’s us! The SRL Team safely convened for our first in-person retreat this month since the pandemic disrupted workplaces everywhere. Our goal? Simply, to reconnect. We got a lot of work done, but we also had a lot of fun, and were reminded of the magic and power of human connection. On our minds the whole time was our incredible community of educators and students who inspire and motivate us to think bigger, better and bolder.

Founder’s Note: On Our Minds after being ‘Disrupted’

May 2021 - Founder's Note

Summer is here, cicadas are showing up on DC’s weather radar, and most of us are straggling across the finish line exhausted and burnt out. So I wanted to share where I’m getting my energy and hope these days: student storytelling and SRL special projects.

Founder’s Note: One Year Later

March 2021 - Founder's Note

Unbelievably, this week marks an entire year since Student Reporting Labs started to work from home and SRL students and teachers entered the uncharted territory known as remote learning. Over the course of the year, we experienced students recording first drafts of history in real time (April 2020); exhaustion, trauma and grief (July 2020); Gen Z and the election tipping point (October 2020); and programming innovations that will take SRL in new directions in 2021 (January 2021).
