Transcript of Student Voice Live! Diverse Learners -- One-Pager
Created by: Clement Coulston @clementc26
Student Voice Live! Learning Ally Panel On September 20, 2014 a group of
innovative thinkers and advocates
gathered to discuss, The Power of
Diverse Learners.
From the conversation, I strengthened
my belief in how learning is not
narrowed to solely visual, auditory nor
tactile inputs – but rather, learning is
the experiences that each of one us
creates. Learning is an invigorating
process and journey, which can be
comprised of successes, challenges and surprises.
As we either initiate new opportunities or invest to strengthen pre-existing partnerships, it is valuable to co-
create norms, which can be guided by the following prompts:
! I can be the best learner when…
! I can be the best sharer when…
Highlights
Reflection Prompts to Consider ! How can we promote the growth of self-advocacy
within young people?
! In which ways can we provide and value opportunities
to express learning beyond the typical assessments
given today?
! How can we support a shift from the “helping
mindset” to the “empowering
mindset” for all learners?
“Accommodations help me survive. Inclusion helps me thrive.”
– Theresa Soares
Social Inclusion!• Accommodations have advanced
the physical inclusion of diverse learners. However, the social and emotional connection between
oneself and the world is the core of social inclusion.!
Lifelong Learning and Sharing!
• Once we stop learning, we stop growing and become stagnant.
Learning must be broadened past the K-12 context and be
considered a lifelong disposition one can embody. !
Knowing Ourselves and Sharing with Others!
• Panelists described how arduous the process of learning about
oneself was, but how vital is has been in their journeys. Thus,
students need opportunities to explore and re"ect.!
