Students Leading Policy Creation || Joel Wardle

from Synergy In Education · host Kathryn Berkman & Dom Verwey

What opportunities are in your community for students to lead? What issues do you wish creative solutions could solve? What does authentic student voice mean to you? We create synergy with Joel Wardle, speaking about student voice and ownership of school policy and culture. Joel teaches English Language and Literature at Munich International School, inspiring MYP and IB students to tell their stories—and lead the way. As a student leadership advisor, he’s all about helping young people find their voice and make an impact. Off campus, you’ll find Joel skiing down snowy slopes, hiking scenic trails, running, or paddleboarding on Starnberger See. Equal parts educator and adventurer, he believes leadership is best learned with a mix of challenge, fun, and a little fresh air.
