Student Voice - Practice

Practice

Student voice work is premised on the following convictions:

  • Young people have unique perspectives on learning, teaching, and schooling;
  • Their insights warrant not only the attention but also the responses of adults; and
  • They should be afforded opportunities to actively shape their education.

Several typologies differentiate the practices that identify as student voice. One identifies multiple roles for students throughout the education system, including education planning, research, teaching, evaluating, decision-making and advocacy.

Famous quotes containing the word practice:

    “Whatever my own practice may be, I have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race, in its gradual improvement, to leave off eating animals, as surely as savage tribes have left off eating each other when they came in contact with the more civilized.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Those who make a practice of comparing human actions are never so perplexed as when they try to see them as a whole and in the same light; for they commonly contradict each other so strangely that it seems impossible that they have come from the same shop.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “The practice of S/M is the creation of pleasure.... And that’s why S/M is really a subculture. It’s a process of invention. S/M is the use of a strategic relationship as a source of pleasure.”
    —Michel Foucault (1926–1984)
