[|Amplifying Student Voice] Dana L. Mitra

Student voice refers to opportunities for students to share in school decisions that shape their lives. Student voice initiatives can range from students giving teachers their opinions about school issues to youth assuming leadership roles in reform efforts. Mitra describes how a high school in California that serves many low-income students and English language learners (and with a high dropout and teacher attrition rate) involved students extensively in its school reform efforts. The school convened focus groups involving students from diverse groups to learn what problems students perceived at the school and what types of support students needed. Students and teachers together analyzed data from the focus groups, identified four areas for reform, and presented these findings to the faculty. Students also participated in professional development sessions with teachers to improve instruction and helped "translate" learning resources and assessments into student-friendly language.

Good article in Ed. Leadership which reminds me of what the man from Mars saw when he visited a classroom on earth. There was one large human working really hard while all the little humans were just sitting and watching. The question is who is involved and invested in the learning?
