What is student voice and choice?

Giving students voice and choice—the opportunity to choose to learn the way they learn best and to direct some aspects of their learning—helps to make students feel personally invested in their learning and gives them a role in shaping and creating it rather than it being simply delivered to them.

Why is the student voice important?

For students that are struggling with finding their place, or feel like they don’t fit in, knowing that their voice is being heard can help them to see that they’re not alone. To truly personalize learning, student voice is essential. Make student voices heard in your school!

How do you give students a voice?

Eight ways my teachers encouraged student voice:

Lift up under-engaged voices.
Give kids more discussion time to explore and develop their ideas.
Allow for creative expression.
Writing in the voice of others.
Make lessons personally relevant.
Reward risks and recognize those who speak up.
Encourage debate.

Why is it important to give students choices?

Giving students a choice allows them to take ownership of their learning as well as create a product that feels authentic to them. They work on something that they’re good at creating, or try something they want to get better at.

Why are portfolios important for students?

Portfolios can encourage students to take more ownership and responsibility over the learning process. Because portfolios document learning growth over time, they can help students reflect on where they started a course, how they developed, and where they ended up at the conclusion of the school year.
