Focus Group Guide
Gather information about what your students think needs to happen, needs to stop happening, and needs to keep happening in your class.
A focus group is a user-centered approach that can be used to understand the perspectives and experiences of young people. This protocol will help you dig deep with young people to better understand their experiences. Additionally, this tool can help your organization better understand how you support young people’s social capital development and if there are programmatic improvements you can make to further support young people.
