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.

    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    In a sense that I am unable to explicate further, the proponents of competing paradigms practice their trades in different worlds.
