Interacting on Webex
We’ll be using Webex in the following ways:
● Using the chat box to share our thoughts at any time
● Raise our hands when we have something to say - we will hand the mic
over to you!
● Collaborate using the whiteboard.
● Watch a couple of videos by sharing the link in the chat box. You will need
to copy and paste the link into your web browser. When you are finished,
let us know in the chat box.
Our “need to knows” Collaborative Inquiry Question: What do we need to know as teachers in order to empower student voice in our classrooms?

UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
Article 12:
● “Parties shall assure to the child who is capable of
forming his or her own views the right to express
those views freely in all matters affecting the child,
the views of the child being given due weight in
accordance with the age and maturity of the child”
Pat Thompson
Conceptual problems with the term
“voice”
● Singularity - unified and single view vs. plural views
● Single purpose - students are asked for a specific
reason but may choose to exercise voice for a variety
of reasons
● Voice is ‘disembodied’
● Authenticity - understood as consistent and pure
● Language - voice is expressed in words
● Etiquette - voice is exercised in particular ways and
at particular times

How might educators “hear” voice?
Source: http://www.edugains.ca/resourcesLIT/ProfessionalLearning/CBS/CBS_StudentVoice.pdf
Q: Think of your response to a recent event in your classroom/school in which student voice was evident – what are the implications of this response? What beliefs and values about student voice are evident from this analysis?
How can student voice support inclusive education?Students can surprise adults with fair and realistic feedback, ideas and questions as partners vs. objects of education/research
● Sellman: Although students with social, emotional and behaviorial problems may be seen as expressing their “voice” in other ways, a group of students were engaged as “Students as Researchers” to explore perceptions of the school behavior management policy and provide a final report of identified themes.
● Bishton & Lindsay: By taking photographs, ranking, symbols and puppets, students across a range of learning exceptionalities (e.g. ASD) meaningfully shared what they dis/liked about school
a. “Each child needs to be confident that they will be listened to before they are willing to express their opinions” (p. 181)
“Disability doesn't make you exceptional, but questioning what you think you know about it does”
- Stella Young
What are some areas where student voice can flourish?
1) Teaching and Learning2) Classroom Culture
3) School Climate
Classroom Culture
How we act, react and interact in
class impacts voice:
- Self-awareness, self-efficacy
- Interpersonal relationships (educator-
student, student-student)
- Conflict resolution
- Decision-making
- Problem-solving
- Risk-takingSource: https://www.flickr.com/photos/34728211@N05/4443590130/">gilhooly studio

Cluster ActivityHow does student voice inform curriculum planning and
objectives?
1) Pick one of the student voice projects you learned about in orientation, or a student voice project you may know of.
2) Map out how this project connects to your curriculum using paper or Popplet (www.popplet.com)
3) Take a photo/screenshot and upload it to the gallery in the virtual classroom.

● Based on survey results, explore and identify
an area (learning environment, school culture,

student voice.
● Document the learning process by capturing
an image & uploading it to the classroom
gallery.
