episode Student voice and school change: Why not ask the kids what they think? artwork

Student voice and school change: Why not ask the kids what they think?

The NEXTschool initiative is concerned with involving kids in the process of school change. In order to do so well, there are many things to take into account like relational power dynamics and social context. Vanessa, Aron, Lynn, and Joe talk about student voice, how we can think about involving students in change, and ethical considerations of student voice research. This episode adds nuance to our conversations about student success and engagement. The five questions guiding this topic are:  1. [01:00] What is student voice? 2. [07:28] What are some of the ways researchers and practitioners conceptualize or think about student voice work? 3. [15:17] What does student voice look like? And also, what are some ways students can be involved in decision making processes, specifically in the context of school change? 4. [21:18] Within the particular context of school change, why should we be involving students in change? And why might this be important? 5. [24:02] What are some of the ethical considerations when engaging in student voice work? For more info about our team and this podcast, jump to [33:13].

[24:26] What are some ways that students can demonstrate or achieve success? 5. [29:12] How might a school go about defining student success for their context?

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
