Educators across the globe work hard each day to make educational decisions for their students. Teachers work hard on creating lesson plans for their classrooms and school leaders work with stakeholders to create the best possible schools for our youth. But, what if we could make our classrooms and schools better by creating partnerships with students so that we learn the deeper intricacies about what they need to learn better? Students who are given opportunities to use their voice become engaged not only when learning, but making schools better for everyone. Known as the “Let Them Speak!” Movement, this session will provide practical examples on how to activate student voice, student choice, and student leadership opportunities in your school so students want to come to school to learn! Various free resources for this session include a 60-page implementation guide, research articles, and other resources to use after this session.
