Research from the Quaglia Institute (2016) shows that students who feel heard are seven times more likely to be academically engaged. However, fostering student voice and agency across an entire school or learning environment can be intimidating.
In this session, we will define student voice, explain how to capture it, and demonstrate how to leverage it for meaningful impact in your school.
The session will also highlight principals, students, and adviser leaders and how they are all working to elevate student voice on their campuses.
