History of JustAsk
JustAsk implements the methodology of Investing, Involving, Evolving, & Expanding with educational communities in order to create progressive, relevant, and equitable learning environments that promote student success. This methodology draws on a synthesis of educational literature, personal interviews with leaders in the field of equity and first-hand educational experience.

How JustAsk started... an in-risk project for students at Stephen Lewis SS
|
Mr. Stephen Lewis speaks of 'involving', 'evolving' and 'expanding' students in their own education through a project that started at Stephen Lewis Secondary School. These concepts became the basis for how JustAsk began.
|
In 2014, JustAsk creators David Badovinac and Amie Tolton, interviewed a number of leaders of NGO's, social justice and equity champions and education innovators. They were asked their thoughts on success, involving/evolving/expanding and what they know never works.
