About us.

Community School Interviews is a registered charitable organization that  provides youth a unique opportunity to develop their skills of personal inquiry while asking their own questions of intriguing guests from industry, community and business organizations.

The CSInterviews School Series come to teachers' classrooms and takes place in the context of regular class outcomes. Assessment and evaluation of student involvement is built in to the process. < download a one page intro for schools>

How much time does it take?

We can provide a speaker for a single or series of interviews. We can tailor this to your needs, from one to several classes if you wish a number of speakers.

What does a teacher have to do to prepare for a speaker?

Meet with a CS Interview facilitator, select the speaker(s), and then sit back and watch the facilitator direct the students' interviewing.
