The ten principles behind Move School Forward

Concise paraphrases in the original order, with a route back to the complete campaign wording.

Student Voice’s 10 June 2020 announcement introduced the Education Justice Collective’s ten principles for school reopening. The 24 August 2020 homepage capture preserves all ten, followed by resources, proposed actions and signatories.

  1. Share education decisions with students

    Include students in policy, teaching and spending decisions at school, district and state levels.

  2. Prioritise marginalised learners

    Direct comprehensive support to communities most affected by unequal resources and the pandemic.

  3. Meet essential needs

    Ensure food, housing, healthcare and social support so students can participate in learning.

  4. Provide digital access

    Public provision should cover connectivity, devices and other tools needed for distance learning.

  5. Build supportive school communities

    Emphasise relationships, restorative responses, counsellors and trauma-aware support over punitive discipline.

  6. Broaden teaching and assessment

    Differentiate learning and judge schools contextually, including their progress in closing opportunity gaps.

  7. Teach historical injustice and civic participation

    Address white supremacy and inequality while preparing students to act in their communities.

  8. Sustain the education workforce

    Protect staff livelihoods and decision-making voice; diversify recruitment and support equity-focused professional learning.

  9. Resource schools according to need

    Provide adequate public funding, protecting education budgets and prioritising high-need schools.

  10. Work with local communities

    Build partnerships connecting schools, families and community resources to comprehensive student support.

The archived homepage pairs the principles with reading and action links. Its selected sources include Student Voice’s engagement ladder, Dignity in Schools’ school-support campaign, CAST’s Universal Design for Learning framework and Learning Policy Institute research on teacher diversity. These are historical resource references, not a claim that every linked programme still operates unchanged.
