Student Voice
Key ideas from the reading:
Key ideas from the reading:
- All students have the right to be listened to in all aspects of school life
- There is a range of benefits - achievement, engagement and wellbeing
- If students have influence as key partners in their learning and in decision making about their school then you will be more likely to achieve these benefits.
- Students work as part of their local communities and take ownership to shape these.
- Connecting skills to issues and local community organisations.
- Students, teachers and community collaborating
- Restorative practices and respectful relationships
- PBL/pBL choice over products and time to come back and revisit them and implement them
- NNoS - student leadership, giving students across the school a voice and developing leadership skills and see their influence across the school/community
- CPS Student parliament / leadership team
- induction pack, mentoring for new staff, student leadership team being part of this and seeing how it works, feedback from student leaders (assembly)
- Students can feel disempowered or disengaged without having influence - thinking about school / community involvement / skills / time and resources to see their ideas come to life. Ensuring students' ideas are seeing the impact of what they have done. (Time / teacher load / making these projects achievable/realistic) Align leadership team with class projects
