Students usually navigate the higher education system as passive viewers, believing it to be a rigid system of defined rules and structure that is not responsive to the forces of their inputs and desires. The truth is quite the opposite, each higher education institution is malleable under the force of its students’ ideas and inclinations. This idea of educational programs that can be transformed by the students themselves is progressively gaining traction as institutions try to innovate and reimagine a more democratized education relevant to the 21st century.

One of the best and most direct ways for students to influence their own education is by having them design and lead their own class. In this guide we provide an outline of a plan to create a student-led class on your own campus as well as some tips and tricks from individuals with past relevant experience.
