Why I'm teaching writing online to students in high schools in low-income communities

Dasia Moore, a former staff writer for the Boston Globe Sunday Magazine, explains why she chose to be an instructor for “Raise Your Voice: Learn to Write Successfully for College & Beyond,” a new Stanford Digital Education course for teenagers from high schools in low-income communities. The hybrid course was offered in eight schools across the country earlier this year (2022) through National Education Equity Lab, a nonprofit that partners with top universities to offer dual-enrollment courses in Title 1 public high schools. In Raise Your Voice, students earn both Stanford credits and credits from their high schools. The curriculum and virtual lectures were developed and hosted by Stanford Online High School. Students complete coursework with support from their in-person classroom teachers and long-distance teaching fellows hired by Stanford such as Moore. "Reading about Raise Your Voice, I was drawn to a model that, unlike so many others I knew of, invested in the schools that talented low-income students already attended." Moore says. "It recognized their existing teachers as worthy and qualified partners in preparing them for college. It also took advantage of virtual learning as a way to connect students to resources beyond their communities, without requiring them to leave."
